Digits : WordPress Mobile Phone Number OTP Signup and Login Form — is a powerful plugin designed to modernize your website's user authentication system. By integrating mobile number registration and login via OTP (One-Time Password), Digits eliminates the need for users to remember complex passwords, which are often forgotten or compromised.

The plugin is highly customizable and integrates seamlessly with your existing WordPress setup, including popular plugins like WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and various form builders. You can replace the standard WordPress login/signup forms, add mobile number fields to your WooCommerce checkout, or use shortcodes to place login forms anywhere on your site. With support for over 20 SMS gateways, including Firebase, Twilio, and MSG91, Digits offers a robust and reliable solution for businesses worldwide looking to simplify user access and reduce registration barriers.
Why This is Important
In today's digital landscape, user friction is a major cause of lost conversions. Studies show that up to 86% of users report being bothered by having to create new accounts on websites, and nearly 30% of online shoppers abandon their carts because the checkout process is too long or complicated. The traditional email/password system is a key part of this problem, leading to forgotten passwords, support requests, and potential security breaches.
The Digits plugin directly addresses these pain points. By enabling one-click login with a mobile number, you can reduce cart abandonment rates and significantly increase your user registration rate. It provides a modern, secure, and user-friendly authentication method that customers have come to expect, making your website more accessible and trustworthy.
