Sessions is a powerful sessions manager for WordPress with a multi-criteria sessions limiter and full analytics reporting about logins, logouts and account creation. It relies on the standard WordPress sessions manager and add it extra features and controls.
You can limit concurrent sessions, on a per role basis for the following criteria:
<ul>
<li>count per user;</li>
<li>count per IP adresses;</li>
<li>count per country (requires the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-locator/" rel="ugc">IP Locator</a> plugin);</li>
<li>count per device classes and types, client types, browser or OS (requires the free <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/device-detector/" rel="ugc">Device Detector</a> plugin).</li>
</ul>
For each roles defined on your site, you can also block login based on private/public IP ranges, and define idle times for sessions auto-termination.
You can also set a maximum number of IPs used for each user – useful to limit credential sharing between many people.
Sessions can report the following main items and metrics:
<ul>
<li>KPIs: login success, active sessions, cleaned sessions, active users, turnover and spam sessions;</li>
<li>active and cleaned sessions details;</li>
<li>users and sessions variations;</li>
<li>moves distribution;</li>
<li>login/logout breakdowns;</li>
<li>password resets;</li>
</ul>
Sessions supports a set of WP-CLI commands to:
<ul>
<li>manage WordPress active sessions (list, kill) – see <code>wp help sessions active</code> for details;</li>
<li>toggle on/off main settings – see <code>wp help sessions settings</code> for details;</li>
<li>modify operations mode – see <code>wp help sessions mode</code> for details;</li>
<li>display sessions and accounts statistics – see <code>wp help sessions analytics</code> for details.</li>
</ul>

The plugin is overly complex (I like my plugins to do just one thing) and puts two top level items in the wordpres menu.

Also relies on javascript and ajax so it is not parrticularly robust


Just do one job and do it simply and dont take over the admin and I´d be happy to give 5 stars

I want to love this plugin BUT

Take control of the “Remember Me” login feature for WordPress by having it enabled by default, customize how long users are remembered, or disable this built-in feature by default.
For those unfamiliar, “Remember Me” is a checkbox present when logging into WordPress. If checked, WordPress will remember the login session for 14 days. If unchecked, the login session will be remembered for only 2 days. Once a login session expires, WordPress will require you to log in again if you wish to continue using the admin section of the site.
This plugin provides three primary controls over the behavior of the “Remember Me” feature:
<ul>
<li>Automatically check “Remember Me” : The ability to have the “Remember Me” checkbox automatically checked when the login form is loaded (it isn’t checked by default).</li>
<li>Customize the duration of the “Remember Me” : The ability to customize how long WordPress will remember a login session when “Remember Me” is checked, either forever or a customizable number of hours.</li>
<li>Disable “Remember Me” : The ability to completely disable the feature, preventing the checkbox from appearing and restricting all login sessions to 2 days.</li>
</ul>
NOTE: WordPress remembers who you are based on cookies stored in your web browser. If you use a different web browser, clear your cookies, use a browser on a different machine, or uninstall/reinstall (and possibly even just restarting) your browser then you will have to log in again since WordPress will not be able to locate the cookies needed to identify you.
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
Other than the plugins listed below, compatibility has not been tested or attempted for any other third-party plugins that provide their own login widgets or login handling.
Special handling has been added to provide compatibility with the following plugins:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/" rel="ugc">BuddyPress</a> (in particular, its “Log in” widget)</li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/sidebar-login/" rel="ugc">Sidebar Login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/login-sidebar-widget/" rel="ugc">Login Widget With Shortcode</a></li>
</ul>
