Overview

QuickAuth adds a login code to the Shopware login: customers request a code by email or SMS, enter it, and they are logged in – on the account login page and on the checkout registration page. The password login remains available in parallel.

What QuickAuth does

• Login code by email: works without any external service, through your shop's normal email setup. Edit the email template under Settings → Email templates (template type "Login code").
• Login code by SMS: optional, through the commercewerk gateway, Twilio or Vonage. See SMS providers.
• Password as a fallback: customers switch to the password field at any time via a link; the "Forgot password?" link stays reachable. See Login methods.
• "Email only" mode: hides the mobile number entirely and switches the SMS login off – for shops that do not want to process mobile numbers.

QuickAuth is meant for shops where a forgotten password interrupts the checkout: instead of a password reset, a code is enough, and the customer enters it right where they already are – same tab, same browser, same device.

How a login works

1. The customer enters their email address or mobile number.
2. They request a code with Request login code. For email, the form shows: "You'll receive a login code by email shortly if your email is registered."
3. They enter the six-digit code into the digit boxes – on a smartphone, the code from the SMS often fills in automatically.
4. They are logged in; the checkout continues normally to the final order step.

The code is valid for 300 seconds by default; resending is possible after a countdown of 20 seconds by default. Both are configurable – see Configuration.

How the pieces fit together

• Storefront form: replaces the standard login form on the account login page and on the checkout registration page; each placement can be switched off individually. See The login form.
• Delivery paths: email goes through the shop itself, SMS through the provider chosen in the settings.
• Mobile number in the account: customers can store a mobile number for login and change or remove it at any time under "Your profile".
• Settings: everything lives under Settings → Extensions → My extensions → QuickAuth → Configure; every option can be overridden per sales channel.

What QuickAuth does not do

• It does not register new customers: a login code signs in existing customer accounts; registration remains the normal Shopware path.
• It does not remove the password login – switching to the password is always one link away.
• It does not send login links: the customer receives a code and enters it in the existing browser tab; no second session opens in a different browser.
