How does the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin improve the customer login experience?
The OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin significantly enhances the customer login experience by eliminating the need for passwords. Instead of typing in credentials, customers receive a unique, single-use link that grants them immediate access to the system. This approach reduces friction associated with forgotten passwords, frequent resets, and the general hassle of managing multiple login details. It streamlines the process, making it quicker and more convenient for customers to access their tickets and communicate with support, ultimately leading to a more positive interaction with the service desk.

What are the compatibility requirements for the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin?
To successfully deploy and utilize the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin, your OTOBO or Znuny installation must meet specific compatibility requirements. The plugin is designed to work seamlessly with OTOBO versions 11.0.x and all subsequent releases. Similarly, for Znuny users, compatibility begins with version 7.0.x and extends to all newer versions. Ensuring your system meets these minimum version requirements is crucial for the plugin's proper functionality, stability, and access to all its features, including secure, passwordless customer authentication.

Does the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin automatically create customer users in OTOBO?
Yes, a key feature of the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin is its ability to automatically create customer users. This functionality significantly streamlines the onboarding process for new customers who need access to the OTOBO ticket system. When a customer attempts to log in using a one-time authentication token, if their user account doesn't already exist, the plugin can be configured to automatically provision a new customer user account for them. This reduces administrative overhead and ensures that customers can quickly gain access without manual intervention from agents or administrators.

How does using single-use access tokens enhance security for customer logins?
Using single-use access tokens, as implemented by the OneTimeAuthentificationLink plugin, significantly enhances security for customer logins compared to traditional static passwords. Each token is unique and valid for only one login session, or for a very limited time, which drastically reduces the risk of credential theft, brute-force attacks, or password reuse vulnerabilities. Even if a token is intercepted, it becomes invalid after its first use, preventing unauthorized access. This method ensures that customer accounts are protected by a dynamic, ephemeral form of authentication, making it much harder for malicious actors to compromise accounts.
