Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin work with Bedrock?

Yes, Custom Login Tracker is specifically designed to work with Bedrock architecture.

Will this plugin slow down my site?

No, the plugin has minimal impact on site performance. Login tracking happens asynchronously and doesn't affect the user experience.

How long is login data stored?

Can I export the login data?
