### Features

This Discourse plugin is an attempt to simplify the login process for novice, mass-subscribed users.

Links to the forum in notification emails are enriched with the user’s email address.

If a user follows one of these links, a login email is sent without need for further interaction.

After using the login link provided there, the user will be redirected to the previously linked topic.

### Changelog

- 0.6 Send login link on all pages, if “login” parameter is set
- 0.5 Fix bug which prohibited to send mails containing links to user with non-ascii usernames

### TODO

- Do not send new token on reload of page
