Access code
This module allows users to log in using a unique access code instead of a username and password, simplifying the process for temporary or infrequently used accounts. It provides options for managed access codes, a dedicated login form, and automatic login via a special link.
Access code module allows site visitors to log in using an access code instead of entering username and password. The module aims at expediting the process of setting up and distributing account information to new users. It is intended to be used in cases where user accounts will most likely be accessed a few times only, and you don't want the users to go through the hassle of setting up a username and password.
Features
- Access codes can be managed on the user edit form
- A separate login form is provided to log in with an access code (user/ac)
- An access link containing the code is also available (ac/[access code]), which logs in the visitor automatically when visited
- Access codes can be set to expire
Security considerations
Please keep in mind that using access codes as a way of authentication is significantly less secure than the traditional username/password authentication.
