This is how it works:
Instead of asking users for a password when they try to log in to your website, we simply ask them for their username or email
The plugin creates a temporary authorization token and saves it in a WordPress transient that expires after 10 minutes
Then we send the user an email with a link and the token
The user clicks the link and sends the authorization code to your server
The plugin then checks if the code is valid and creates the log in WordPress cookie, successfully authenticating the user.
