Sends an email when any admin-level user logs in to your site.
Activate this plugin to send an email when any admin-level user logs in to your site. This is useful for keeping an eye on any unauthorized administrator logins. Each email alert includes the user name, IP address, user agent, and other details. Just in case you need to do some forensic investigation.
Features
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:
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.
Simple Login Notification is developed and maintained by Jeff Starr, 15-year WordPress developer and book author.
Installing the plugin
Activate like any other plugin and done. There are no settings, works automatically.

Using the plugin
Activate and done. The plugin requires nothing else to work its magic.
Exclude IP address
If you want to exclude an IP address from email alerts, visit the plugin settings > “Exclude IPs”. So if you don’t want to get an email every time you log in, add your IP address to this setting. You can use a free online tool to get your current IP address. If you are unsure, leave this setting blank.
To add an IP address to the “Exclude IPs” setting, you can use any of the following notations:
93.184.216.34
93.184.
93.184.216.34/24
Important: Separate multiple IP/strings with commas.
Uninstalling
To uninstall/remove the plugin, visit the Plugins screen, deactivate and delete the plugin. This plugin makes no changes to the WP database.
