AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Login by Auth0 is a mixed-rating WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Social category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. 18 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.

How Login by Auth0 works
Show full descriptionShow less
This plugin replaces standard WordPress login forms with one powered by Auth0 that enables:
Universal authentication
Over 30 social login providers
Enterprise connections (ADFS, Active Directory / LDAP, SAML, Office 365, Google Apps and more)
Connect your own database
Passwordless connections (using email or SMS)
Ultra secure
Multifactor authentication
Password policies
Email validation
Mitigate brute force attacks
Technical Notes IMPORTANT: By using this plugin you are delegating the site authentication and profile handling to Auth0. That means that you won’t be using the WordPress database to authenticate users and the default WordPress login forms will be replaced.
Please see our How It Works page for more information on how Auth0 authenticates and manages your users.
Migrating Existing Users Auth0 allows multiple authentication providers. You can have social providers like Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and more, a database of users and passwords (just like WordPress but hosted in Auth0), or you can use an Enterprise directory like Active Directory, LDAP, Office365, Google Apps, or SAML. All those authentication providers might give you an email and a flag indicating whether the email was verified or not. We use that email (only if it is verified) to associate a previous existing user with the one coming from Auth0.
If the email was not verified and there is an account with that email in WordPress, the user will be presented with a page saying that the email was not verified and a link to “Re-send the verification email.” For either scenario, you can choose whether it is mandatory that the user has a verified email or not in the plugin settings.
Please note: In order for a user to log in using Auth0, they will need to sign up via the Auth0 login form (or have an account created for them in Auth0). Once signup is complete, their Auth0 user will be automatically associated with their WordPress user.
Widget You can enable Auth0 as a WordPress widget in order to show it in a sidebar. The widget inherits the main plugin settings but can be overridden with its own settings in the widget form. Note: this form will not display for logged-in users.
Shortcode Also, you can use the Auth0 widget as a shortcode in your editor. Just add the following to use the global settings:
[auth0]
Like widgets, shortcode login forms will use the settings of the plugin. It can be customized by adding the following attributes:
icon_url – A direct URL to an image used at the top of the login form
form_title – Text to appear at the top of the login form
gravatar – Display the user’s Gravatar; set to 1 for yes
redirect_to – A direct URL to use after successful login
dict – Valid JSON to override form text (see options here)
extra_conf – Valid JSON to override Lock configuration (see options here)
show_as_modal – Display a button that triggers the login form in a modal; set to 1 for yes
modal_trigger_name – Button text to display when using a modal
Example:
[auth0 show_as_modal="1" modal_trigger_name="Login button: This text is configurable!"]
Note: this form will not display for logged-in users.
