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:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-login/" rel="ugc">Email Notification on Login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-admin-login/" rel="ugc">Email notification on admin login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/kaya-login-notification/" rel="ugc">Kaya Login Notification</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/kolorweb-access-admin-notification/" rel="ugc">KolorWeb Access Admin Notification</a></li>
</ul>
Unfortunately none of these plugins suited my specific needs:
<ul>
<li>Lightweight, clean and simple</li>
<li>Current with latest WordPress</li>
<li>No requirement for PHP sessions</li>
</ul>
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.

Sends an email when any admin-level user logs in to your site.

What sets this plugin apart?
In a sea of admin login notification plugins, KolorWeb Access Admin Notification stands out for a few key reasons:
<ul>
<li>Simplicity: This plugin is designed to be lightweight, clean, and simple to use in just 20kb (I challenge you to find something better).</li>
<li>Compatibility: It is regularly updated to ensure compatibility with the latest WordPress versions.</li>
<li>Right checking: Unlike many others, this plugin checks capabilities instead of roles, and this makes a really big big difference when an attacker modifies them by granting administrator privileges to roles that shouldn’t have them.</li>
<li>Lightweight: There are no options to manage and no information overload to store in the database.</li>
<li>Pratical & Quick: One-click logout and password reset capability for unauthorized access directly from mail notification.</li>
</ul>
I created this plugin because I couldn’t find any existing options that met my specific criteria. If you’re looking for a no-nonsense solution that gets the job done without any extra frills, this is the plugin for you.
Specifically, if you have tried any of these plugins:
<ul>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/simple-login-notification/" rel="ugc">Simple Login Notification</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-login/" rel="ugc">Email Notification on Login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/email-notification-on-admin-login" rel="ugc">Email notification on admin login</a></li>
<li><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/kaya-login-notification/" rel="ugc">Kaya Login Notification</a></li>
</ul>
I think it is time to abandon them and move on to a better solution like this one.

Updates
If you don’t find any updates, it means that everything is working correctly with the latest WordPress release. But if you have an idea to improve this plugin, write to me.
Intro to the problem and my simple solution
Every day I receive many emails of attempted access to the sites I manage. So I asked myself: “And if suddenly one attempt among the millions of those executed were to be successful, how could I know if not when it is already too late?”
I thought the only way to know is to track admin account logins.
If the login is successful, an email is sent containing the account data and the IP of origin. So as soon as you log in through the email and two links inside it, I can immediately disconnect the sessions of the compromised account, and also reset the password for that account, which will be notified by email with a second sending.
In short, a solution that could save the life of your site because it allows you to become aware that there is some backdoor on the site that allows unauthorized access.
This plugin sends an email notification for every access that is made by the website administrators. When a login is detected by a site administrator, the login time is stored and a notification is sent containing the details of the account that is logged in. If access is not authorized, through a link it is possible to disconnect the account from all devices, or disconnect the account from all devices that have logged in and at the same time reset the access password for that account. In this second case, a new notification is sent containing the new password.
