Sidebar Login
Sidebar Login adds a useful login widget which you can use to login from in the sidebar of your WordPress powered blog. Once a user logs in they are redirected back to the page they logged in from, rather than the admin panel (this is configurable). If you’d like to contribute code to the plugin you can do so via GitHub. If you’d like to contribute a translation, the project is hosted on WordPress.org. Usage Simply go to Appearance > Widgets and drag “sidebar login” to the sidebar of your choice. Within the widget are several options you can use for changing the titles or the links displayed to the user. To use this widget in a template, use the the_widget() function which WordPress provides. Tags for titles + links These tags can be used in the widget settings for titles + links and will be replaced at runtime. %username% – logged in users display name %userid% – logged in users ID %firstname% – logged in users firstname %lastname% – logged in users lastname %name% – logged in users firstname + lastname %nicename% – user nice name %admin_url% – url to WP admin %logout_url% – logout url %buddypress_profile_url% – Buddypress Profile URL %bbpress_profile_url% – Buddypress Profile URL %avatar% – User Avatar Filter Reference sidebar_login_include_css – return false to not include the CSS stylesheet sidebar_login_widget_logged_in_links – An array of links shown when logged in. sidebar_login_widget_logged_out_links – An array of links shown when logged out. sidebar_login_widget_display – Return false to hide the widget. sidebar_login_widget_logged_in_title – The widget title shown when logged in. sidebar_login_widget_avatar_size – The avatar size – defaulted to 38 (thats in px) sidebar_login_widget_logged_out_title – The widget title shown when logged out. sidebar_login_widget_form_args – Arguments for the wp_login_form function. sidebar_login_widget_login_redirect – Redirect URL after login. sidebar_login_widget_logout_redirect – the redirect after logging out. sidebar_login_widget_register_url – The URL for registration links. sidebar_login_widget_lost_password_url – The URL for lost password links. sidebar_login_widget_wp_login_form – The HTML of the Login form. Action Reference sidebar_login_widget_start – Fired before the widget. sidebar_login_widget_{logged_in || logged_out}_content_start – Fired before the widget content. sidebar_login_widget_before_{logged_in || logged_out}_links – Fired before the links. sidebar_login_widget_after_{logged_in || logged_out}_links – Fire after the links. sidebar_login_widget_{logged_in || logged_out}_content_end – Fired after the widget content. sidebar_login_widget_end – Fired after the widget. Notes Due to AJAX not working across different domains (see same_origin_policy), AJAX logins will be disabled if your site it non-SSL, but the FORCE_SSL_ADMIN constant is set to true. Instead it will fallback to a traditional POST.
SQRL Login
SQRL can be used to log in to a site in a secure manner without giving away any personal information. This plugin enables that functionallity. Instead of using a username, email and a password, SQRL uses an app to login to SQRL-aware websites. When SQRL logs you into a website, your identity is a long code that looks like this: E6Qs2gX7W-Pwi9Y3KAmbkuYjLSWXCtKyBcymWloHAuo. Your SQRL identity is a different long code for every website you login to, but it is always the same code when you return to a site you visited before. This means that websites never know who you are, but they do know when you return. You may choose to remain anonymous to a website, such as when you post a response to someone’s blog. SQRL never identifies you by anything other than that long code. In other cases you will want to be known, like when you use SQRL to login as you at Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, or your bank. In those cases, you would inform Amazon that that particular code is actually you. SQRL lets you do that.
