It relies on the standard WordPress sessions manager and add it extra features and controls. You can limit concurrent sessions, on a per role basis for the following criteria: * count per user; * count per IP adresses; * count per country (requires the free [IP Locator](https://wordpress.org/plugins/ip-locator/) plugin); * count per device classes and types, client types, browser or OS (requires the free [Device Detector](https://wordpress.org/plugins/device-detector/) plugin). For each roles defined on your site, you can also block login based on private/public IP ranges, and define idle times for sessions auto-termination. You can also set a maximum number of IPs used for each user – useful to limit credential sharing between many people. **Sessions** can report the following main items and metrics: * KPIs: login success, active sessions, cleaned sessions, active users, turnover and spam sessions; * active and cleaned sessions details; * users and sessions variations; * moves distribution; * login/logout breakdowns; * password resets; **Sessions** supports a set of WP-CLI commands to: * manage WordPress active sessions (list, kill) – see `wp help sessions active` for details; * toggle on/off main settings – see `wp help sessions settings` for details; * modify operations mode – see `wp help sessions mode` for details; * display sessions and accounts statistics – see `wp help sessions analytics` for details. For a full help on WP-CLI commands in Sessions, please [read this guide](https://perfops.one/sessions-wpcli). > **Sessions** is part of [PerfOps One](https://perfops.one/), a suite of free and > open source WordPress plugins dedicated to observability and operations performance. **Sessions** is a free and open source plugin for WordPress.
