Hello frnds

I want a plugin which will help me to generate a random ticket no

A login ticket should automatically generated pass code, an expiration  
date, and a user who may log in with the pass code. It should provide  
functions for generating, retrieving and deleting login tickets, as well  
as checking validness of a given pass code and, given a valid code  
(while not requiring username and password), logging the concerned user  
in.

is there ne such thing available?

Awaiting Reply

Thanking You

Not that I’ve seen. Sounds like a good opportunity for you to write one  
though. =)

Realistically though, it sounds like you want your standard user  
authentication with an expiration date. There are quite a few  
authentication plugins available. I suppose you could install one and  
hack it a bit to include your expiration needs.

Try this:

And for future reference, try this:
