MetaMask Authenticator for WordPress & WooCommerce 2.0.0

The MetaMask Authenticator for WordPress & WooCommerce plugin is a specialized tool that enables Web3 authentication for your website, allowing users to log in and register using their MetaMask or other crypto wallets instead of traditional usernames and passwords.

This is particularly useful for platforms building around the crypto space, such as NFT Marketplaces, ICO websites, or any community focused on decentralized applications.

🛡️ Core Features of the Authenticator Plugin

One-Click Login/Registration: Users can log in or register accounts simply by connecting and signing a message with their MetaMask wallet, providing a passwordless, secure experience.

Wallet Linking: The plugin saves the user's wallet address in the WordPress user profile. Existing users can link their MetaMask account to their current WordPress account.

WooCommerce Compatibility:

Authentication buttons appear automatically on the WooCommerce My Account and Registration/Login pages.

Users can link or unlink their MetaMask wallet directly from their WooCommerce account dashboard.

Placement Flexibility: You can insert the login, register, and link/unlink buttons anywhere on your site using dedicated shortcodes. The buttons also appear on the default WordPress login/registration pages.

NFT/Token Gating: Some versions of this authenticator (or related add-ons) include functionality to restrict access to specific pages or premium content based on whether the user's linked wallet holds a certain NFT (ERC-721/ERC-1155) or a specific amount of an ERC-20 token.

🔗 Related MetaMask Functionality (Often Separate Plugins)

It's important to distinguish the "Authenticator" from Payment Gateways, which are often separate plugins or a Pro feature of an "All-in-One" solution:

Payment Gateway: Plugins like "Pay With MetaMask For WooCommerce" allow your customers to pay for goods and services using cryptocurrencies (ETH, BNB, USDT, etc.) via their MetaMask wallet at the checkout page.

The Pro versions of these payment gateways often include the Web3 login feature.

They typically support Multi-Chain payments (Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon) and Real-Time Fiat-to-Crypto price conversion.

If your primary goal is to accept cryptocurrency payments, a dedicated payment gateway plugin may be what you need, whereas the Authenticator plugin's main focus is the passwordless login and registration process.
