What It Does

When Last Login records the date and time of each WordPress user's most recent login and displays it as a new column in the Users admin screen. The column is sortable, so administrators can quickly sort all users by their last activity, oldest first or newest first, to spot inactive accounts or confirm recent access.

Who It's For

This plugin is a good fit for site administrators running membership communities, multi-author blogs, online courses, or internal employee directories who need to identify dormant or stale user accounts at a glance. It is also useful for site owners doing periodic account audits who want a simple, read-only signal of recent user activity without configuring a full logging suite.

Who Should Skip It

If you need a detailed login audit trail, IP logging, forced logout, or session management, this plugin is too narrow and you will want a more capable alternative such as WPForce Logout. Single-user sites, tiny blogs, or anyone satisfied by WordPress's built-in 'Last Login' indicator on the profile screen also have little reason to install it.

The Bottom Line

When Last Login does one thing well and is well maintained, but it is a single-feature utility rather than a full session or login management system. The unresolved support thread and modest install base relative to core admin tools mean it is a solid, low-risk choice for basic last-login visibility, yet not a substitute for a real user activity or security plugin. Recommended for admins who specifically need sortable last-login data and nothing more.

Pick WPForce Logout instead if you need to actively terminate user sessions, force idle users out, and manage concurrent logins, which When Last Login does not do.

WP Last Login 77/100

Pick WP Last Login if you want a lighter plugin with a similar last-login column and fewer features, useful on sites where minimalism matters more than the extra polish When Last Login offers.
