Biggest opportunity: Swap “admin”, “user” and “login” for “spot”, “wp login” and “admin login”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spot” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “user” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wp login” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “admin login” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →5.7%
of downloads still active
At least 10K of 174.9K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Admin & Utilities plugin keeps 0.6%, across 4,189 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Admin & Utilities plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 3 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

What to do about it
- Swap “admin”, “user” and “login” for “spot”, “wp login” and “admin login”. “admin” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “spot” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “user” isn't earning its slot: you're not in the first 24 results for its own search. “wp login” sits at #12 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “login” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #19. “admin login” sits at #18 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up.

Simple, yet very useful plugin. Using it on dozens of sites I manage.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ amiens802.1y ago
this is the kind of plugin i love : just install, activated, no need setting, it runs fine! no need support. As an english person, i have no need to translate it at all. Great one ! Work fine on wp 6.6.2 and wp 6.6.1 ps : I would request another tiny feature : add the last ip of login date ! This topic was modified 1 year, 9 months ago by amiens80.

Switched to this plugin as another similar plugin by YooHoo was incompatible with TwoFactor. This works with both TwoFactor and Limit Login Attempts plugins. [Anyone who says it does not work likely has a code conflict with another plugin]

Well maintained plugin. This is the only ‘last login’ plugin I have found that supports two factor.

Totally useless: every user is listed as never having logged in, even the one I’m currently logged in as to view this. Two stars instead of one because at least it didn’t seem to break anything.
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ Dirk7.0y ago
It shows users as Login “Never” even the users have been logged in. I decided on this information to delete users! Good luck, I had an early backup of the database! Do not trust in this Plugin!
Read on wp.org ↗ - ★★★★★ rwbeckettcorp8.3y ago
I’m giving two stars because the plugin didn’t break anything and appeared to be working just fine. I left this on for over a year to help me identify which users out of 20,000+ actually log into my site. After a year, I deleted the users that had “never” logged in, only to find I deleted users who had recently signed up for classes on my site. To sign up for a class on my site, you have to log in first. Thank goodness for backups. Unfortunately, this plugin doesn’t serve its purpose reliably and the information it shows can’t be trusted. I cannot recommend it. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by rwbeckettcorp. This topic was modified 7 years, 11 months ago by rwbeckettcorp.

Great plugin–very easy to use. To Konstantin Obenland: The other CMS, Drupal, has this functionality built in to the core of their cms. Request that the makers of WordPress to add your cool plugin to the core of WordPress, perhaps in the upcoming version of WordPress 5.0.
