logging in wordpress using NFC

  • is there a way to simulate a login and authenticate using NFC?
    let’s say i have an NFC chip that stores a URL. can I have an encrypted query string in the URL and make it login to wordpress instead of the username and password?
    is there any way to do that?

    Any plugin can hook the ‘authenticate’ filter and alter what and how authentication works. The entire wp_authenticate() function is pluggable, so a custom version can be created. WP authentication depends on cookies, so that mechanism needs to be replicated if the client is not an actual browser.

    WP now has the REST API native to the installation (formerly a plugin). This may be a better interface for NFC than the normal HTTP.

    I no nothing of the inner workings of NFC, only WP, so I could not say whether this is feasible or not. The aspects I mentioned are your best options if anything at all is possible.
