# How to Show User’s Last Login Date in WordPress?

## Key Takeaways

- Nexter Extension (Free) tracks each user’s last login date and time directly in the WordPress user list table.
- WordPress does not track the last login date by default, so the Nexter Extension fills that gap for security, user management, and site maintenance.
- Advanced Security in Nexter > Extensions > Security includes a Last Login Date & Time toggle that appears after enabling the section and clicking the gear icon.

If your site allows user registration, tracking the last login date can be crucial for security, user management, and overall site maintenance. It helps you monitor active and inactive users, detect suspicious activity, and manage user accounts more effectively. WordPress does not track the last login date by default.

With the [Nexter Extension (Free) plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/nexter-extension/), you can track the last login date and time for each user directly in the WordPress user list table.

**Best Used For:**

- Membership sites that need to identify and remove inactive user accounts

- WooCommerce stores where you want to monitor customer login activity for support purposes

- Community or multi-author sites where security audits require tracking when each user last accessed the dashboard
