How to track the login activity of users or team members on your Paystack account

The introduction of the new user login activity feature on your dashboard is a significant step towards improved user management and enhanced security. It allows you to track the last login activity of all users on your Paystack account directly from your dashboard. 

Having access to the login activities of your team members allows you to monitor and manage the security of your Paystack account effectively. By knowing who is accessing the account and when, you can rest assured that your sensitive financial information and transactions are protected. This peace of mind enables you to focus on your core business operations without worries about potential unauthorised access or misuse of the account.

How to view a user's last login:

1. Log in to your dashboard
2. Go to the Settings page
3. Click the Team tab. Within the "Team" tab, you will find a comprehensive overview of your users' names, email addresses, roles, 2FA status and Last Login. You will notice the last login activity displayed for each user. This includes the date and time of their most recent login as shown below:
   
   
   

Why is this important?

Here are some key benefits:

1. Proactive Account Management: Tracking login activities allows you to proactively manage your Paystack account. By regularly reviewing the login history of team members, you can ensure that only authorised individuals have access to your account. If you notice any discrepancies or unusual login patterns, you can promptly investigate and address them, preventing potential security risks before they escalate.
2. User Behaviour Analysis: Monitoring login activities provides valuable insights into your team members' engagement with your Paystack account. You can analyse login patterns to identify active and less active users, and gain a better understanding of how your team interacts with the platform. This information can help you optimise your workflows and improve the overall efficiency of your team.
3. Team Accountability: The ability to see the login activities of team members promotes accountability within your organisation. Team members are aware that their login activities are being tracked, which can encourage responsible usage of the Paystack account. By having transparency regarding login history, you can foster a culture of trust and responsibility among your team, ensuring that everyone uses the account for its intended purposes and in a secure manner.

In summary, being able to view login activities helps you detect suspicious behaviour, promotes transparency within your team, and provides peace of mind regarding the security of your Paystack account. It ensures that everyone is accountable, facilitates smooth collaboration, and allows you to focus on your business with confidence.
