Multi-Email Login is a WordPress plugin that enables users to associate multiple email addresses with a single account and authenticate using any of them. This solves a common problem where users have multiple email addresses (personal, work, legacy accounts) but want to maintain a single WordPress profile.
Why Use Multi-Email Login?
- Flexibility: Users can login with whichever email address they have handy
- Account Consolidation: No need to create separate accounts for different email addresses
- Smooth Transitions: When changing primary email addresses, users can keep both active for seamless access
- Business Use: Perfect for team members who use multiple email addresses across different departments or clients
- Zero Friction: Works transparently with WordPress authentication—no special configuration needed

Developer Usage
The plugin provides a simple API for developers to work with multiple email addresses:
Find a user by any email address (primary or secondary):
$user = melog_get_user_by( ’email’, ‘user@example.com’ );
This function works just like WordPress’s get_user_by() but automatically checks both primary and secondary email addresses.
Instead of:
$user = get_user_by( ’email’, ‘user@example.com’ );
Use:
$user = melog_get_user_by( ’email’, ‘user@example.com’ );
For other field types (login, ID, slug), it behaves identically to the standard WordPress function.
