Why Choose This Project

With the rise of multi-device usage, users often log into the same account from smartphones, tablets, laptops, or desktops. While convenient, it opens up opportunities for account compromise if unauthorized devices gain access. This project provides a dashboard that tracks all active sessions per user across multiple devices, allowing administrators and users to monitor, manage, and terminate sessions as needed. It strengthens account security and gives full visibility into device activity.

What You Get

A comprehensive dashboard where admins and users can view all active sessions, including device type, location, IP address, browser, login time, and last activity. The system enables terminating suspicious sessions, detecting unusual patterns, and maintaining audit logs for security compliance.
