Re: automatic Login with QR code or url

Maybe it's possible to login via url, for example something like:
www.mysite.com?login/password?

As far as I know, you can't. I've never known Joomla capable of that, whether with an extension or not.

Other passwordless methods (WebAuthn) include Windows "Hello" (facial recognition), fingerprint scanner, and Windows PIN number, etc. As you say, sharing one account for many users is not ideal, nor is using a QR code method, even if it were possible. https://docs.joomla.org/WebAuthn_Passwordless_Login. These methods would be intended for individual users with their own logins.

Hi,
Thank you A Murray for your replay.
This is not good information for my...
I need to make simple page for group of specified people (workers on a production line), where they will be able to fill out form and get some information. Unfortunately I'm pretty sure, that thay wouldn't be able to make account for each other, and the site shouldn't be visible from people from outside. Also is not possible to lock to specific IP, as they use private phones to connecting.
Maybe you have any ideas how to achieve this functionality in any other way?

Thank you.

You can achieve it by writing an Authentication Plugin.

https://docs.joomla.org/Creating_an_Aut ... for_Joomla

I presumed the Employees are listed somewhere you can use.

When an Authentication Plugin returns the necessary Fields, a Joomla User is created at Login.

If mobile phones are the medium used,would it not be better to have an app made?
