External Login for WordPress

Integrate External Logins with WordPress Easily

External Login is a WordPress plugin that facilitates user authentication via an external database, allowing seamless integration with existing login systems. It re-creates users in the WordPress database, enabling compatibility with other plugins that require named users. Users can log in using credentials from various database types, including MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Microsoft SQL, while maintaining their roles and permissions through customizable mappings.

The plugin features robust security measures, including support for multiple password hashing methods such as bcrypt and md5, as well as customizable password salts. Users can be excluded from the WordPress admin area based on their roles or specific fields in the external user table. With options to test database connections and manage settings through wp-config.php, External Login is designed for flexibility and security, making it a reliable choice for WordPress sites needing external authentication.
