README

This extension allows frontend users (members) to log in with a secret code.

Installation

Install the bundle using composer:

$ composer require terminal42/contao-assets

Then run the Contao Install Tool and update the database.

Be aware that this extension currently only supports Contao 4.4 (LTS).

How To Use

The bundle does two things:

1. Adds a new code field to members and disables mandatory-ness of username/password.
2. Provides a new code login front end module. Place it on any Contao page to allow a member to login with a code instead of a username/password.

You can also allow automatic login from a link by setting up a query parameter in the configuration field of the front end module.

About Security

ATTENTION: This extension is very much not secure! The login code will be stored in plain text in the database. Do not use it for a regular website with protected member section. We only use it to allow clients to one-time update their personal data.

The stronger your code, the more secure the login process will be. Don't use a incremental number, people might try random codes!
