There is already a direct URL to reset a user’s password: /password-reset Is there a similar URL to take a user directly to the “email me a login link” feature?

I looked at the suggested link Jay, but I’m not quite sure which setting would impact the behavior I experienced above. In other news, I discovered I can just do: https://my-discourse-site.com/?login=USER_EMAIL to trigger a login link. This works for me because the entire site is set to private. S…

That topic is about integrating Discourse with another website/app. I’m asking about linking to a login feature available by default in Discourse. There’s no SSO involved.

I think that the /login route is what you want. You have to enter a username or email address, so there is no shorter way to do it that I can think of.

Jay’s reply is not a “solution” for me, but it does, unfortunately, seem to be the correct answer to my question, so I’ve marked it appropriately.

What would solve the problem? Being able to include the email or username in the url?

Not quite. I’d like to be able to say something like this (this is part of a transition from an SSO integration back to vanilla Discourse): I’d like to be able to link to two different places where the only thing that the user can do is to complete the option they have chosen. This is available fo…

Fiddling with the regular approval messages, I realized that there is a direct URL for the email me a login link: /login-helper/send-login-mail?login=USER_EMAIL&destination_url=%2F It seems to work fine, but you do need to prefill the email address and a destination. Just for reference, you can p…

[image] Alex Armstrong: /login-helper/send-login-mail?login=USER_EMAIL&destination_url=%2F Can’t have it working :thinking: https://meta.discourse.org/login-helper/send-login-mail?login=myemail%40gmail.com&destination_url=%2F returns a 404 and no email is received. What do I miss?

I don’t have any idea why it works on my system, but not here on Meta. Another issue I realized is that access to this helper is severely limited and will ask you to wait for just 1-2 tries. Our members are faculty and staff at academic institutions, and they will likely be connecting from the same…

That’s a problem regardless of using the link. There is an environment variable you can set to allow more accounts to be created from the same ip.
