Install

No release zip yet. The repository archive installs, but the folder name will carry the branch suffix and updates will not flow:

wp plugin install https://github.com/imsyedusman/auto-login-after-password-reset/archive/refs/heads/main.zip
Readme github.com/imsyedusman/auto-login-after-password-reset ↗

Automatically log users in right after they reset their password — for both WordPress and WooCommerce.

This lightweight plugin enhances user experience by skipping the extra “log in again” step after a password reset. Once users successfully reset or change their password, they’re logged in instantly and redirected to a configurable page (like My Account).
