Auto Login After Password Reset (Woo Compatible)

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).

✨ Features

• 🔒 Instant login after password reset or change
• ⚙️ Works with both core WordPress and WooCommerce reset flows
• 🔁 Optional custom redirect URL
• ✅ Built using WordPress Coding Standards
• 🌐 Fully translation-ready (Text Domain: auto-login-after-password-reset)
• 🧩 100% GPLv2 or later

🧠 How It Works

The plugin hooks into:

• password_reset → for default WordPress reset flow
• woocommerce_customer_reset_password → for WooCommerce reset flow
• after_password_reset → for password changes while logged in

It then uses WordPress’ built-in authentication functions:

wp_set_current_user();
wp_set_auth_cookie();

⚙️ Installation

Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/auto-login-after-password-reset/

Activate it via Plugins → Installed Plugins

Go to Settings → Auto Login After Reset

Toggle the feature on/off and set a custom redirect URL (optional)
