How does Bifröst work

You can create passwordless temporary login links after successfully installing Bifröst on your WordPress site. Like most WordPress plugins installation is very straightforward. Moreover, it does not require any additional configuration.

Bifröst adds its option as a sub-menu under the WordPress User menu. You can also quickly access the menu from the installed plugins section. Under the plugin name, there is a quick link called Create Login Links. Click on Create Login Links to access plugin settings. You can create temporary login links from here by clicking the Generate button.

By default, temporary login links are valid for 7 days. When the link expires after 7 days, you will find an option to extend the validity. You can extend validity for 3 days (you can keep repeating this process as long as necessary).

Bifröst prioritizes security

🔒️ Though we want to add ease to your workflow, site security is our top priority. As a result, we have coupled ease and security together.

🔒️ First, the temporary login link appends a cryptographically secure random byte stream. As a result, there is no pattern for people to predict/target.

🔒️ Second, the link expires in 7 days. So, even if you don’t remove a link, access to your dashboard will not work.

🔒️ On top of that, people who access your dashboard using the passwordless temporary login links, cannot access the User menu. As a result, they cannot create a new user or modify an existing user.
