Who Is Swoop For?
Stop right there. It’s for you. Swoop is for anyone who wants to simply and securely eliminate passwords from their website. If you’re reading this description, you probably have a Wordpress website and, at a minimum, you should install the Swoop plugin to secure the administration of your site.
But why stop there? Swoop is perfect for eliminating passwords from your user registration and login process entirely. That’s what Swoop is here to help with. Here are a few of the ways we’ve seen others find success with Swoop.
- WordPress Website Developers: Make your life easier by installing Swoop on each of your websites so you can securely access each web property with one click. (You can thank us later. We’ve got more work to do to eliminate passwords forever.)
- Digital Marketers: Sales is going to love you after installing Swoop. Provide verified emails that you know work with every registration.
- Conversion Rate Optimizers: Reduce registration form abandonment rates by eliminating a “required” password field.
- Product Designers: Incorporate Swoop into your registration and login process for a friction-free experience. Less steps. More secure. More access.
Bloggers: Register your visitors with ease and provide a frictionless paywall that anyone would want to get behind.
CISO: Passwords are insecure. That’s why our patented technology is being used by some of the most well-known technology companies.
Customer Success & Support Managers: Never reset a password again. Eliminate low-value/high-cost call center calls, emails and chats, and enable the resources you have to focus on high-value activities that can really help your customers succeed.
Why Swoop?
Passwords are antiquated and insecure. At this point, we’ve all had our passwords hijacked by hackers. So what are we left with? Continue to recycle a series of passwords we can easily remember? Use a password vault to store unique passwords for each website? Or, we can eliminate the password problem entirely with Swoop.
But wait, there's more! Swoop also helps you:
Convert.
Increasing customer acquisition can be challenging. With Swoop, you’ll increase visitor conversion by eliminating passwords from your registration process.
Verify.
No more bots. Swoop only accepts verified user email accounts, producing higher-quality signups and submissions to help you to know who your users are.
Secure.
Patented authentication protocol leverages a combination of DKIM, SPF and and our own special sauce to ensure the integrity of each authentication request.
Swoop replaces the centralized storage of passwords with digital signatures and decentralized authentication.
With no passwords to get hacked or compromised, organizations dramatically reduce their liability caused by data breaches and phishing scams.
Access.
1-click authorization makes secure authorization a breeze for returning users.
With Swoop configured on your site, you’ll never reset a password again.
How It Works:
Download, install and configure the plugin in about 5 minutes.
We automatically add the “Swoop In with email” button to your WP admin login page. This is great for internal/external access to administer your WordPress site. But don’t stop there …
Coming Soon: Add the “Swoop In with email” button anywhere you want with a short code.
You can also add the Swoop service to any call to action by following the instructions in our developer documentation.
The “Swoop In with email” button calls out to the Swoop authentication service to enable password-free access to your WordPress account and website.
Swoop’s authentication service offers two different first-time authorization options.
Magic Link: Swoop will email a Magic Link that provides security-packed password-free authentication.

Magic Message: Similar to the Magic Link but with even fewer steps and no typing. Swoop users will send the magic authentication email instead of receiving an email with a Magic Link.

After initial authorization, Swoop will securely cookie users enabling 1-click authorization, which is where the real magic begins. Next time you return to a website with Swoop authentication service installed, your users are already authenticated (pending site-specific authorization policies that require additional authentication for re-entry) and instantly authenticated to your website or service.
