[support] Automating logins from email notification

[Ari Davidow]

We have several password-protected Drupal installations for use by various
groups connected to our organization. We have been using the Notification
module to let folks know when something new has been posted. In actual
practice, these sites are used so seldom that what happens is that people
receive the notification, can't remember how to log in, and end up ignoring
the notice (and the content) rather than ask for help logging in (again).

We think that one solution might be to send out the notifications such that
they include the login/password info encrypted, so that clicking on the link
takes someone into the website, already logged in. The encrypted info would
probably want to expire, say, within a week.

This doesn't seem possible with the Notification module. Is there something
else that provides a similar service that we might use (some comments on the
Drupal forms suggested that og also sends notifications, but it isn't clear
if we can ease people's way to getting into the site).

Ideas?
