Programmatically login

Dear UM-Team,

does your Plugin uses the default wp_set_auth_cookie functionality?
I ask this because I’m struggeling with the implementation of programmatic login (a login without having to fill username and password in a field).
There are some scripts about this but none of them works. So I figured that maybe your plugin does something additional at the login beside the default WP stuff.

Or do you have any suggestion how to implement a programmatic login with UM?

Sample code:
//get user’s ID
$user = get_user_by(‘login’, $loginusername);
$user_id = $user->ID;
//login
wp_set_current_user($user_id, $loginusername);
wp_set_auth_cookie($user_id);
do_action(‘wp_login’, $loginusername);

Thanks,
Robert
