Passwordless

This module replaces the regular Drupal login form with a modification of the password-request form, to give the possibility to log in without using a password.

Every time a user needs to log in, only the e-mail address is required. The login link will be sent to the user’s e-mail address, and will expire in 24 hours if not used.

Passwordless disables the password-reset form, and changes the relevant settings at admin/config/people/accounts. Uninstalling the module will restore everything to the way it was before (including the settings). It’s also compatible with other login-enhancing modules, like LoginToboggan.

Note

Passwordless disables the password fields in user-registration and user-profile forms, which means that:

1. the system takes care of creating a password for new users
2. there’s no longer a requirement for users to reenter their current password when they enter a new e-mail address in their profile.

Due to point number 2, Passwordless depends on Email Change Confirmation, at least until #85494: Verify changing user email addresses is resolved. Make sure you save settings at admin/config/people/email_confirm, including the “From” address, for the module to work properly.

Settings

Passwordless settings can be found at admin/config/system/passwordless.

Suggested modules

Email Registration is recommended, to allow users to register just with their e-mail address, without providing a user name.

Enabling HTML5 Tools is encouraged for HTML5 sites, since it allows Passwordless to produce an HTML5-compliant type="email" field in login forms. Without HTML5 Tools, a regular text field will be produced.

Due credit

Passwordless follows the idea behind NoPassword, but is all based on Drupal’s native functionality and code.
