User History tracks all changes made to user profiles and displays a complete history log on the user edit page. It also lets admins lock or unlock user accounts, change usernames, monitor login/logout activity, manage active sessions, and search for users by their previous details.
Profile Change Tracking:
<ul>
<li>Track Profile Changes – Automatically logs changes to username, email, display name, first/last name, nickname, website, bio, and role</li>
<li>Password Change Logging – Records when passwords are changed (without storing any password data)</li>
<li>See Who Made Changes – Each log entry shows whether the user changed their own profile or if an admin made the change</li>
<li>IP Address Tracking – Records the IP address for each change (can be disabled for GDPR compliance)</li>
<li>Search by Previous Values – Find users on the All Users page by their old email or username</li>
<li>Clear History – Admins can clear the history log for any user</li>
</ul>

<li>Data Retention – Automatically delete old logs after a configurable number of days (default: 30 days)</li>
