Headless Login for WPGraphQL is a flexible and extensible plugin that allows headless WordPress sites to login and authenticate users via WPGraphQL using a variety of authentication methods, including traditional WordPress credentials (username/password), OAuth 2.0 / OpenID Connect, JSON Web Tokens (JWT), and more.

This plugin is inspired by and aims to replace WPGraphQL JWT Authentication as more powerful, comprehensive, and flexible authentication solution for Headless WP.
