Login With AJAX 4.4 – Introducing Free Passkeys Support!

Posted on

We’re excited to introduce Login With AJAX 4.4, a major update that brings Passkeys authentication to all users – for free!

A Rare Move – Bringing a Pro Feature to Everyone

Since launching in 2008, Login With AJAX has been dedicated to making WordPress authentication simple, secure, and accessible. In a move rarely seen in the plugin space, we’re transitioning what was previously a Pro-only feature and making it available to everyone in our free version.

As more major sites are integrating Passkeys, we believe they are an essential step forward for web security whilst creating a level of professionalism on your site, and this is our way of giving back to the WordPress community.

Why Use Passkeys?

Passkeys offer a secure, passwordless login experience that enhances both security and user convenience. Instead of relying on traditional passwords, Passkeys use cryptographic authentication to ensure safer logins.

Key benefits include:

  • Passwordless Logins – No need to remember or enter passwords.
  • Stronger Security – Resistant to phishing and credential theft.
  • Seamless User Experience – Works effortlessly across supported devices and browsers.

With Login With AJAX, integrating Passkeys into your WordPress site is effortless. If you’re already using our plugin, simply update to version 4.4 and start using Passkeys today!
