Description

Add the capability to log in with cryptocurrency wallets such as MetaMask for Ethereum, and wallets that support WalletConnect QR code. Adds a button to WordPress login screen that will let users securely log in with their crypto wallet.

In the background, a regular WordPress user account is created, so existing plugins and customizations will have no problem working along.

PRO Features

Managed Verification Service. To verify signatures locally with JavaScript, see details: https://gitlab.com/losnappas/verify-eth-signature.
EthPress login button on a WooCommerce Login Form
The [ethpress_account] short code can be used to display the current user’s address logged with.

Hooks

These hooks can be used to add your custom logic after user logged in or linked an account using the EthPress plugin functionality.

The login_redirect hook is a standard WordPress hook you can use to customize the page user should be redirected after login.

/**
 * Fires after every login attempt.
 *
 * @param WP_User|WP_Error $user WP_User on success, WP_Error on failure.
 * @param (string|false) $provider One of 'metamask', 'walletconnect', false.
 */
do_action( 'ethpress_login', $user, $provider );

/**
 * Fires after every user account linking success.
 *
 * @param WP_User|WP_Error $user WP_User on success, WP_Error on failure.
 * @param (string|false) $provider One of 'metamask', 'walletconnect', false.
 */
do_action( 'ethpress_linked', $user, $provider );

/**
 * Filters the login redirect URL.
 *
 * @param string           $redirect_to           The redirect destination URL.
 * @param string           $requested_redirect_to The requested redirect destination URL passed as a parameter.
 * @param WP_User|WP_Error $user                  WP_User object if login was successful, WP_Error object otherwise.
 */
$redirect_to = apply_filters( 'login_redirect', $redirect_to, $requested_redirect_to, $user );

A web3 login button is added to your login screen automatically.

Premium plugins!

Premium plugins will be worked on by new maintainer soon~ish (before 2022, hoping), check back then.

Plugins include:

EthPress Tokens: Checks users’ token balance, block them if they don’t own it.
…More to come. Taking ideas. Good idea = get the plugin for free.

Use the EthPress widget for maximum ease. Alternatively, a shortcode is “[ethpress_login_button]”.

Installation

Use WordPress’ Add New Plugin feature, search “EthPress”,

Upload this folder (on WordPress.org, not GitLab) to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

FAQ

“Cannot log you in; you have not registered”

EthPress 0.7.1+ respects the “Anyone can register” WordPress setting, so you have to enable that in Settings->General.

The modal classes keep changing

Use selectors like #web3-login-root button.web3login-metamask, instead of the svelte-12345.

How does it work?

The outline is described in this TopTal post by Amaury Martiny.

Instead of using databased nonces, we use WordPress nonces with a lifetime of 5 minutes, and append the user IP to the login message to prevent replays from elsewhere.

Fore more details, check out the extra readme.

Signature verification

When user submits a signature, it needs to be verified on server-side.

Read the “How does it work?” question.

Firstly, if you have php-gmp or php-bcmath extension installed, we’ll do it with PHP, and you can ignore the rest of this. To check, go to the EthPress settings page.

Otherwise, we do it with JavaScript. EthPress Premium comes configured with a Managed Verification Service. To verify signatures locally with JavaScript, see details: https://gitlab.com/losnappas/verify-eth-signature.

Are my coins safe?

Yes. A wallet (e.g. MetaMask) does/should not leak your private keys out into the wild, that would be madness.

What about mobile?

Mobile integration is in good condition, with WalletConnect QR code reading from wallets such as MetaMask Mobile, there is very little friction!

GDPR?

Ethpress does not store anything other than the wallet address, on your server. It will be deleted if you delete the associated user account or remove the plugin entirely.

If you’re using the default, pre-set signature verification service: it is hosted on the ethereumico.io. No data is stored here.

Check EthPress Settings page for more information.

Very great plugin to enable the web3 for wordpress! Anyways it seems like a lot of users have trouble using the shortcode (me included). The widget is the only thing that enables he capabilities so far. Hope to see improvments here so the pro version might be a buy.

Esperemos que incorporen el login mediante NFT

Very cool plugin with a very promising setup. The connection to Ledger Nano X is currently not working but apart from that it works incredibly well.

willsorr December 4, 2021

works really well.

Does exactly what it promises to do. Only thing to dislike is that the username generated is taken from the wallet address. Easily can be changed after some tweaking however. Lynn is a genius and so great #lynnfanforlife
