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:
- Email Notification on Login
- Email notification on admin login
- Kaya Login Notification
- KolorWeb Access Admin Notification
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.
Simple Login Notification is developed and maintained by Jeff Starr, 15-year WordPress developer and book author.

More info on installing WP plugins.
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:
- Individual IP address, like
93.184.216.34 - Sequential range of IP addresses, like
93.184. - CIDR range of IP addresses, like
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.
