FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Token-based frontend login for TYPO3 — no password required, straight from the CLI.
Anyone managing TYPO3 instances with many frontend users across different groups knows the pain: to debug a specific user you either need their password or have to reset it temporarily. This extension solves that cleanly — a single CLI command generates a time-limited login link. No password, no database entry.
Usage
The entry point is the following CLI command:
Without an argument, all frontend users are listed. Passing a search term filters by the following fields:
uidusernamefirst_namelast_name
The result is a table of users with a login link that can be copied directly into the browser.
Anatomy of a Login Link
The link consists of three parts:
| Parameter | Purpose |
|---|---|
logintype=login |
Instructs TYPO3 to use the login mechanism |
login-token |
The JWT itself, containing uid and expiry timestamp |
hmac |
Signature to verify the token's integrity |
Tokens expire after 1 hour by default.
Technical Details
- The token is generated on the fly and is never stored in the database.
- It is a JWT (JSON Web Token) containing only the user ID and an expiration date.
- Once the extension detects a login link, it validates the signature and initiates the login — without a POST request.
- Both the JWT and the HMAC are generated using the TYPO3 Security Framework, derived from
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SYS']['encryptionKey']. - Tokens cannot be guessed due to cryptographic signing.
Security Considerations
[!WARNING] An intercepted login link grants immediate access to the corresponding frontend account — no further knowledge about the user required.
The extension is an excellent fit for development and testing. For production use, the risk should be consciously evaluated. That said, the author has been running it in production for over two years.
