Want to let WordPress users log in with a secure, one-click link sent to their email? The magic login link feature removes the need for a password by sending users a one-time link they click to access the site instantly.

Once your form fields are ready, go to the **Login** tab and click the **+Add Field** button.

From the **Field** dropdown, select **Magic Link**.

From the **Content** field, customize the magic link text that appears in the form. Use this to match the button or link text to your site’s voice — for example, “Email me a login link” instead of the default text.

In the **Label** and **Placeholder** fields, add the label and placeholder text for the email input. Use a clear label like “Enter your email address” so users know what to type before they request the link.

In the **Button Text** field, add the text for the send button. Use an action phrase like “Send Magic Link” so users understand what clicking the button does.

From the **Custom Mail** section, customize the email that is sent to the user when they request a magic link. This controls the email subject and body content.

In the **Subject** field, write the email subject line. Use a specific subject like “Your login link for [site name]” so users recognize the email in their inbox.

In the **Email Message** field, write the body of the magic link email. Use the shortcodes below to insert dynamic values into the message.

- **[tpgb_sitename]** - Inserts your website name.

- **[tpgb_username]** - Inserts the user’s username.

- **[tpgb_link]** - Inserts the one-time magic link URL.

From the **Select Page** dropdown, choose a specific page where users are redirected after clicking the magic link in their email. Use this to send users directly to a dashboard, account page, or gated content area after they log in.

> Note: For* any email related features such as Lost your password, Magic Link etc. you have to set up SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) to send emails properly. You can use the free *[*Fluent SMTP Plugin*](https://wordpress.org/plugins/fluent-smtp)*.*

To configure SMTP for your WordPress site and ensure magic link emails reach your users’ inboxes, see [How to Set Up SMTP Using Gmail SMTP in WordPress](https://nexterwp.com/docs/set-up-smtp-using-gmail-smtp-in-wordpress/).
