 * Hi there,
    I’m new to wordpress, I just installed wordpress 4.8 ( downloaded 
   from wordpress.org) into my pc so I can play with it. I’m trying to figure out
   a quicker way to login to wordpress programingly. we have our own web application
   running on mobile device (like iphone, ipad ) and pc. We want to do is: from 
   our application we will have a button, when user click button, we will have a
   popup window and take user to wordpress site so user can see documents in wordpress.
   Since user already logged into our application, we don’t want user to do another
   login to wordpress. We want wordpress login to be done via program. I posted 
   some questions related to oauth plugin and also the login via url, but it seems
   I need to do some programming to twist the site. I don’t know php and starting
   to learn it, so it will take me sometime to learn and figure out how to do it.(
   I’ll keep researching on this path). In the meantime I want to ask is there any
   solution that I don’t have to do php programming, just by some configuration 
   setup and maybe playing with url then I can do login part through program and
   let user see documents in wordpress in popup window? This can cut our integration
   time.
 * Thanks, Helen

 * This plugin seems like it’ll help: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/autologin-links/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/autologin-links/)
 * Note that this could be pretty risky, because even if users will only ever see
   the link if they are logged into your other site, the link could still work if
   it is saved or shared with someone who’s not logged into your other site.
 * Doing it safely would require programming on some sort.
