VentraConnect – Social Login, Magic Link & Email OTP (Passwordless)

VentraConnect provides a unified login system for WordPress: Social Login + Magic Link + Email OTP.

• Social Login with 15+ providers (Google, Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Microsoft, GitHub, and more)
• Passwordless Login with Magic Link and Email OTP
  • Can run in Login only mode (existing users) or Login & Register mode (allow new accounts)
• Guardrails (optional): prevent spam accounts by letting Social Login, Magic Link and Email OTP log existing users in, but optionally blocking them from creating new users. This stops random visitors from turning your login screen into an open registration form, while your normal WordPress registration and any custom onboarding forms continue to work as usual.

Works out-of-the-box on the default WordPress login/registration screens (wp-login.php) and also supports shortcodes for custom pages and page builders.

No proxy servers. No third-party tracking. VentraConnect connects directly to each provider using official OAuth flows.

Best for

• Sites that want faster logins and fewer abandoned registrations by offering Social Login + passwordless login.
• WooCommerce stores that want modern social + passwordless login on the login, checkout and My Account pages (Pro add-on).
• Sites that are getting spam registrations and want Guardrails to control who can create new accounts from the default wp-login.php screen.
• Sites that want to add passwordless login (Magic Link / Email OTP) as an option, without removing the classic username/password login.

How It Works

1. The user clicks a Social Login button, or requests a Magic Link / Email OTP.
2. For Social Login, the user authenticates with the provider via official OAuth; for Magic Link / OTP, they verify ownership of their email address.
3. VentraConnect receives basic profile or email data and looks for an existing WordPress user.
4. If the email matches an existing user, the login methods are linked to that account and the user is logged in. If not, a new user may be created (subject to your Guardrails and registration settings).

External Services

VentraConnect Social Login is an OAuth client only.

During login:

1. The user is redirected to the selected provider such as Google or Facebook.
2. The provider authenticates the user.
3. The provider returns an authorization token to your site.
4. VentraConnect retrieves basic profile data:
   • Provider user ID
   • Email address
   • Display name
   • Avatar URL

No user data is sent to or stored on servers owned by the plugin author. All communication happens directly between your WordPress site and the provider official APIs.
