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
by born2excite·2 years ago

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

I love how you have added the ability to email additional emails as well.
Great security enhancement to know when admins login.
Highly recommended.

Thanks for this plugin. It fulfills its function and does exactly what it says in the description of the plugin. No unnecessary settings, no ads, and no cluttered interface. I love the plugins from Jeff Starr.
