Tired of “I cannot log in” emails from paying readers? Use passwordless auto-login links in your newsletters so subscribers land on your site already signed in.
Why logins block growth
If your subscription site requires a sign in to access content, you have probably seen a steady trickle of support emails about password resets and failed logins. These issues create churn risk, frustrate loyal readers, and consume staff time that could be spent on reporting and product work.
Solution: auto-login from newsletter clicks
We implemented a system that automatically signs in verified subscribers when they click links inside your newsletter. No extra steps, no passwords, and no support tickets about login trouble.
Supported today: Newsletter Glue and MailOptin. We are working on direct support for Mailchimp and ActiveCampaign.
How it works
- Send your newsletter as usual with Newsletter Glue or MailOptin.
- Subscribers click any story link in the email.
- They arrive on your site already authenticated and can read members-only posts without a separate login.
fastpasswp adjusts links in your email so verified subscribers are recognized and signed in on arrival.
Benefits for publishers
- Fewer support tickets about passwords and login access.
- Higher engagement from friction-free reading on mobile and desktop.
- Better retention because readers reach content without hurdles.
- Clean analytics since clicks map to signed-in subscribers.
Security and privacy at a glance
- One-time tokens tied to a subscriber are validated on click.
- Short-lived links expire after a brief window to limit sharing risk.
- Domain scoping restricts auto-login to approved site domains.
- Role aware so only the correct subscriber role is granted.
You control token lifetime and which domains are eligible. If a link is forwarded, expired tokens will not sign in a new person.
Quick start
- Install and activate fastpasswp on your WordPress site.
- Connect your email sender integration for Newsletter Glue or MailOptin.
- Enable Auto-login from email links in fastpasswp settings.
- Set token expiry and allowed domains.
- Send your next newsletter. Readers who click will be signed in automatically.
FAQ
Will this work for non-subscribers on my list
No. Auto-login only works for existing WordPress users who match a subscriber record. Others will see your normal registration or paywall flow. Can forwarded emails sign in someone else
Tokens are short-lived and scoped. After expiry, forwarded links do not sign in a different reader. You can also require IP or device checks for added protection. Does this replace my paywall
No. It complements your paywall by removing login friction for legitimate subscribers who come from your newsletter. Which email tools are supported
