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, 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
How to Track the User’s Last Login Date and Time with the Nexter Extension?
To track the last login date and time with the Nexter Extension, go to Nexter > Nexter Extension > Security from the WordPress Dashboard.
Then go to the Advanced Security section, turn on the toggle, and click Configure.
It will open the Advanced Security panel. Enable the Last Login Date & Time toggle and click Save.
From this point, each time a user logs in to your site, the login date and time will appear in the WordPress users list table for that user.
