WP Login Form
7,000+ active installs · Rated 4.6/5 · Updated August 24, 2026
WP Login Form adds a shortcode that prints the standard WordPress login form anywhere on the front end, with an optional redirect after login. It can require Google reCAPTCHA v3 on that form. It suits sites that need a login box inside a page or sidebar without a membership plugin. Its limit is that it only renders the form, with no registration, access rules or custom login pages, and the add-ons it links to are separate.
Pros
- Free shortcode for a login form anywhere on the front end
- Optional redirect after login set per shortcode
- Google reCAPTCHA v3 option for the login form
- Settings page covers the form options in one place
Cons
- Form only, with no registration or password reset pages
- reCAPTCHA v3 loads Google's script on pages with the form
- Extra behaviour such as forced redirects needs the separate add-ons
