WeaselWorks sign-in uses your team's normal WordPress accounts. You choose where they type their password, and WeaselWorks takes them straight to their Workspace afterwards.
In short: go to WeaselWorks › Organization Settings › Sign-In and pick one of three options. The WeaselWorks form is the default and suits most sites.
Three WeaselWorks Sign-In Options
| Option | What people see |
|---|---|
| WeaselWorks sign-in form (default) | A branded form on your WeaselWorks entry page, with Show Password, Keep Me Signed In and Forgot Password. |
| WordPress login page | The standard WordPress login screen. |
| Another plugin's login page | For example Ultimate Member's. WeaselWorks sends people back to their Workspace afterwards. |
How the WeaselWorks Sign-In Form Works
- People go straight to their Workspace, or back to the WeaselWorks page they were trying to open.
- Invitation links open Set Up Your Account, where people choose a password and are signed straight in. If the link has expired, they can choose Send Me a New Link.
- Forgot Password emails a one-use link that returns to the WeaselWorks form. New passwords need at least 8 characters.
- Limit sign-in attempts is on by default: after 5 wrong passwords, that account waits 15 minutes, with a warning when 2 tries are left.
WeaselWorks uses WordPress's own sign-in underneath, so accounts, passwords and roles work exactly as they always have. WordPress explains its own login screen in its user profile guide.
Tip: Keep WeaselWorks-only people in WeaselWorks is on by default, so people who only use WeaselWorks go to their Workspace after signing in instead of the WordPress dashboard. On WeaselWorks' own pages, the WordPress toolbar is hidden for everyone except administrators.
When the Form Steps Aside
If a security or two-factor plugin is active, the WeaselWorks form steps aside and sends people to the WordPress login page, so your site's protection keeps working. See Security and Two-Factor Plugins.
