FAQ

Questions about UniLogin

Still unsure? Our support team is one ticket away.

What does UniLogin do?

UniLogin lets users sign in with their email address (and optionally username) in the standard Joomla login field.

Which Joomla versions are supported?

UniLogin 1.2 supports Joomla 4, Joomla 5, and Joomla 6. PHP 8.1+ is recommended.

Must Authentication - Joomla stay enabled?

Yes. Keep the core Authentication - Joomla plugin enabled. UniLogin handles email mapping and can verify passwords itself; core auth remains part of a healthy login stack.

How do I allow both email and username?

Enable Username Fallback in the plugin settings (default ON in 1.2).

What is rate limiting?

When enabled, UniLogin counts recent failed attempts for the login value and IP. After the maximum, login is blocked for the lockout duration.

Where are login attempts stored?

In the #__unilogin_attempts table created on install/update. Retention cleanup removes older rows automatically.

Can I restrict company email domains only?

Yes. Enable Domain Restrictions, choose Whitelist, and list domains such as company.com (one per line).

Where can I get help?
