Why Choose This Project

Analyzing user login times helps organizations detect unusual behavior, improve security monitoring, and optimize system usage. Patterns like logins at odd hours or overlapping sessions can indicate compromised accounts or insider threats. This project provides a visual dashboard that presents login activity over time using charts, helping administrators quickly identify trends, anomalies, and potential security issues.

What You Get

A web-based module that collects login timestamps, aggregates data by user, device, or location, and displays it in interactive charts. Admins can monitor login trends, detect suspicious activity, and optimize access policies.
