    I am fully aware of danger!

    I need to force wordpress to have users login only by username. It’s na intranet site, they will be login with RFID cards, so I don’t need any passwords. Is there any plugin?

  • Hello t00kie,

    Please add the below line of code in your theme function.php which will allows you to login into WP without using the password.

    <?php

function admin_login($user, $username, $password) {
    $user = get_user_by("login", $username);

    if($user != "FALSE")
    {
        wp_set_auth_cookie($user->ID);
    }
    else
    {
        return null;
    }
    return $user;
}

function hide_password_field()
{
    ?>
        <style type="text/css">
            body.login div#login form#loginform p:nth-child(2) {
                display: none;
            }
        </style>
    <?php
}

add_filter("authenticate", "admin_login", 10, 3);
add_action("login_head", "hide_password_field");
?>

    Thanks
