## Key Takeaways

When it comes to website security, the more layers you can implement, the better protected your website and its users will be. One great way to upgrade your WordPress website's security is to enable passwordless login via email. Passwordless login allows users to easily sign in to their accounts without needing to remember a unique password. This type of login also helps minimise the risk of unauthorised access, as users can simply enter their email addresses to log in quickly and securely.

With the Login & Signup block from Nexter Blocks, you can easily allow passwordless login by adding a magic link to your login form.
