Hello,

How can I send a login link to my users and make sure the email field is already populated ?

Something like [www.my-discourse-site.com/login?email=person@gmail.com](http://www.my-discourse-site.com/login?email=person@gmail.com)  
So that this user gets his email ([person@gmail.com](mailto:person@gmail.com)) already filled in the login page when they click

Thanks

Currently, Discourse does not have any built-in features to auto-populate the email field on the login page using a URL parameter (like `?email=person@gmail.com` ).

If you’re looking for a user login flow where users don’t repeatedly have to input their credentials, options like Single Sign-On (SSO) or [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) can be configured for fully automated login processes.

For reference, you can see our official [Discourse SSO](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) and [DiscourseConnect](https://meta.discourse.org/t/13045?silent=true) documentation here: [Setup DiscourseConnect - Official Single-Sign-On for Discourse (sso)](https://meta.discourse.org/t/setup-discourseconnect-official-single-sign-on-for-discourse-sso/13045).

There is also a [Discourse OAuth2 Basic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-oauth2-basic/33879) that allows you to use a basic OAuth2 provider as authentication for Discourse.
