How to set Passwordless Login as a Login Screen Options | WordPress

Passwordless login is an authentication method that allows users to access their accounts or systems without the need for a traditional password. Instead of relying solely on a password for authentication, passwordless login utilizes alternative factors or methods to verify the user's identity. Passwordless login offers several advantages over traditional password-based authentication. It enhances security by eliminating the risk of weak or compromised passwords. Since there is no password to remember or manage, it reduces the burden on users to create and maintain complex passwords.
