Why is this useful?

I use this plugin to keep an eye on any unauthorized login attempts. Probably a bit paranoid but I don’t care, paranoid works well for me.

How is this plugin different?

While researching for this plugin, I found four other “admin login notification” type plugins:

Unfortunately none of these plugins suited my specific needs:

Lightweight, clean and simple
Current with latest WordPress
No requirement for PHP sessions

So I decided to build my own. Let me emphasize the utter simplicity of this plugin. It does one thing and does it well: sends an email whenever an admin-level user logs in to WordPress. No bells and whistles, no bloat. If you need more functionality, check out the above plugins should get you there.

Privacy

This plugin does not collect or store any user data. It does not set any cookies, and it does not connect to any third-party locations. The only thing this plugin does is send an email for each admin-level login. Each email includes information about the user, such as username, IP address, user agent, and other details.
