    Our client have wierd ideas.
    He want login for multiple users (same username and same password) but, to distinguish who was access to content, want to add one more field in login form where users should introduce their email (any email) so when user is login in, he should send email adress to client so that client “know” who access to page.
    I know i’ts totally silly and I know that user can send him [email protected] mail to acces content…but this is what client want and I would like to know if it is, theoretically posible and if answer is yes, can we do this with your plugin.
    Thank you!

    Hi– thanks for your interest in Force Login!

    Force Login only redirects visitors to the login screen, requiring them to log in. The creation and management of users, and the login form, is handled by WordPress or other custom functionality.

    Good luck!

    Thank you Kevin,
    From your point of wiev, do you think that, this what our client want, is impossible?

    I think what your client wants is technically possible, but it would require you to customize the WordPress login functionality to achieve it.

    The question you should be asking is–?if this is best practice?

    I don’t believe users should share a single login for security and usability/UX reasons.

    • What happens if one of the users changes the password and accidentally locks out all of the others?
    • How will your client manage giving or removing user access?
    • What happens if a user forgets their password?

    Good luck!
