Easy to install and configure
Perfect tracking of user login... Easy to install and configure. Took 20 seconds to be up and running. Enough functionalities for my usage. Great !

Excellent, fast and very useful. And that's just the developer.
Great little plugin. Simple UI and great functionality. Can you implement an option to use the login name in the subject of the email?

Easy to Use, Great Security and Reliable
This plugin is very light with virtually zero impact on performance. Provides peace of mind by alerting you if someone logs in to your site and best of all, the developer is a professional web developer specialising in Web Security and maintains the plugin regularly.

Fantastic plugin that helps with security
Terrific plugin that works really well. I love how you have added the ability to email additional emails as well. Great security enhancement to know when admins login. Highly recommended.
