System - Login Popup Pro (Joomlax) improves the member experience on your frontend: guests sign in and members sign out inside a modal window on top of the current page. It uses Joomla’s standard, secure login — the same accounts and passwords as your normal login page — so you keep full compatibility with users, two-factor login, and “Remember me” (when enabled).

No core hacks. Install, enable the plugin, point your menu links at the login/logout behaviour you already use, and tune colours from the options so the popup matches your brand.

Key Features

Stay on the page
- Login and logout happen in a popup instead of sending people to a separate screen
- Familiar close options: click the dimmed background, the ×, or press Escape

Looks like your site

- Optional auto-open when someone opens a page whose address ends with a word you configure (useful for campaigns or help links)

- Optional greeting on logout (“Hi name”) with full name or username
