How to Access WordPress Without Using a Password
Are you tired of fumbling around with passwords every time you need to access your WordPress site? Whether it's a forgotten password or simply wanting a more convenient way to log in, some alternatives can streamline the process. In this guide, we'll explore how you can log into WordPress without the hassle of entering a password.
WordPress Login Without Password
Passwordless Login Options for WordPress
Two-factor authentication (2FA)
Two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security to your WordPress login process while eliminating the need for traditional passwords. Instead of typing in a password, you'll verify your identity through another method, such as a one-time code sent to your email or mobile device.
To set up 2FA for your WordPress site, you can use plugins like Google Authenticator or Authy. Once activated, you'll experience a smoother login process without compromising security.
Email Magic Links
Email magic links offer a convenient way to access your WordPress dashboard without a password. When enabled, simply enter your email address on the login page, and a unique login link will be sent to your inbox. Clicking on the link will grant you instant access to your WordPress dashboard.
To implement email magic links, you can utilize plugins such as WP Magic Link Login or Email Login.
Social Login
Social login allows users to log into your WordPress site using their social media accounts, such as Facebook, Google, or Twitter. This eliminates the need to create and remember yet another password, as users can authenticate themselves through platforms they're already logged into.
Plugins like Nextend Social Login & Register or Social Login provide seamless integration with popular social media platforms, offering a hassle-free login experience for both you and your users.
How to Set Up Passwordless Login on Your WordPress Site
Install and activate your chosen passwordless login plugin from the WordPress repository.
Navigate to the plugin settings and configure the login options according to your preferences.
Test the login process to ensure everything is functioning smoothly.
Communicate the new login method to your users if necessary, providing clear instructions on how to access their accounts without passwords.
Conclusion
Logging into WordPress without a password is not only possible but also beneficial in terms of convenience and security. By implementing passwordless login options such as two-factor authentication, email magic links or social login, you can streamline the login process for yourself and your users while enhancing the overall security of your WordPress site.
Try incorporating one of these methods today and say goodbye to password headaches once and for all!

Shadow learned to use more secure passwords because he was too much of an innocent child in the beginning -not knowing much about the world- and Maria was too easy for his begrudgingly admitted friends to unlock
Then he changed it. Rouge figured it out again
Then he changed it again. Rouge cracked it in less than two days
Shadow made the next one more secure.
It didn't stop her. He doesn't understand how she keeps cracking it
He doesn't realize she just observes his current interests and he keeps switching the password according to what's on his mind those days. He is still too much of an innocent child

I keep seeing people respond to the Microsoft Recall bullshit with there's an ability to disable it and that misses the point. Several points in fact.
It's only a matter of time until an update bugs/"bugs" it and re-enables it without warning so people who had previously disabled it think they're in the clear until their info is leaked or they get a warning they're low on storage space.
If people don't have admin rights, they may not be able to disable it. Laptops given by work or school lock down what people can do with them, some going as far as dictating which browser one has to use on them. Even if you don't need admin rights to disable Recall, you may not have the ability to do so without losing the laptop and/or job and/or education.
I'm unsure of how it would handle multiple accounts but if it can be locked by someone else to always be enabled, children and people in abusive situations would also be unable to disable it. Even if it can't be locked, disabling it could result in punishment from a parent or the abuser.
Is it really disabled or is it "disabled" in that what the user sees is it being disabled while it's still collecting information and/or sending information to Microsoft in the background?
Such a feature should never have been automatically enabled in the first place. It's bad, predatory design to have such a feature enabled from the start and to expect users AKA customers to go out of their way to look up and then opt-out of something.
If disabling it really disables it, it can still result in stress and concern that it's not. The vast majority of people do not have the skills or knowledge to look into the OS guts to give themselves peace of mind that it really truly is disabled.
I'm sure I'm missing some, too.
TLDR is disabling is a bandaid someone else may rip off for you, someone may hurt you if you use, it may not work at all except as a placebo, and should have never been needed in the first place.
