This plugin integrates WordPress sites with Glome.
Each visitor can get a “Soft Account” by a single click. Users can link soft accounts across multiple devices.
A visitor with soft account can act as a registered user, in fact he or she will receive a regular, but anonymous WordPress account. There is no need for going through the standard registration process by filling in and submitting forms.
The plugin consists of a few widgets, a user page and a settings page for WordPress administrators.
Site admins can add the widgets to their WordPress widget area. With these widgets the site’s visitors will be able to create fully functional WordPress accounts as mentioned above.
Two widgets will let these newly created anonymous, “soft accounts” to be linked with other anonymous accounts. The same WordPress site accessed by the same person on multiple devices can be personalised without ever asking for user names, email addresses or passwords.
This will make the WordPress site stand out from the rest.
Screenshots
The "One-Time Access" and the "Glome Key" widgets are available to gain access to the WordPress site.
After gaining access one will be able to pair other devices. It can be done by scanning a QR code, or opening the corresponding URL. We also take advantage of modern browsers that can work with cameras directly (via WebRTC).
Do you have a demo site?
