New WordPress Plugin: Simple Login Notification
New WordPress plugin! Simple Login Notification does one thing and does it well: sends an email alert whenever an admin-level user logs in to your site. I use this plugin on all of my sites to keep an eye on any unauthorized activity. Not that I’m expecting any, but if it does happen I definitely want to know about it. The plugin size is only 4 KB (zipped) with virtually zero impact on performance or anything else. Win win win, as they say.
Description
Activate this plugin to send an email when any admin-level user logs in to your site. This is useful for keeping an eye on any unauthorized administrator logins. Each email alert includes the user name, IP address, user agent, and other details. Just in case you need to do some forensic investigation.

hi Jeff!
i wonder if you might consider making this compatible with ClassicPress (a.k.a. WP 4.9)
Yes, I’ve added to the list and will try to get it done. Thanks for the feedback, 12bytes :)
