What it does
Membership sites depend on each paying member using their own account. When one login gets passed around, several people can read protected content under a single membership. This plugin addresses that by setting a cap on simultaneous logins per account. When a member goes over the limit, earlier sessions are ended so only the allowed number stay active, and the member sees a message explaining what happened.
Limits can be set per membership level, so a basic plan might allow one active session while a team or family plan allows more. Administrators can reset a user's sessions from the users list, and an optional heartbeat check can sign out bounced users while they are still on the page. Login attempts and session terminations are logged, giving you a record to review if an account looks like it is being shared. Settings are handled in the admin area without code.
Best for
- Paid Memberships Pro sites with paywalled content
- Online course creators worried about shared accounts
- Agencies managing membership sites with tiered plans
Features
Concurrent login limits
Restrict how many simultaneous logins each member account can have, which discourages people from passing one set of credentials around to others.
Automatic session ending
When an account reaches its login limit, previous sessions are ended automatically so the number of active logins stays within the allowed count.
Limits by membership level
Assign different login limits to different membership levels, so each plan or user group gets the amount of access that matches what it includes.
Customizable member notices
Show members a clear message you can edit when they exceed their login limit, so they understand why a session was closed.
Reset sessions from the users list
Administrators can use a Reset Sessions link on the users list to clear a member's active sessions, with translatable admin notices confirming the action.
Optional heartbeat check
An optional heartbeat check can detect bounced users while they browse and redirect them, rather than waiting until their next page load.
Login activity logging
Track login attempts and session terminations so you can spot accounts that look shared and keep an eye on suspicious activity.
No-code configuration
Adjust the plugin's settings through the WordPress admin interface without writing code, which keeps setup approachable for non-developers.

Questions about PMPro - Limit Logins
Does this plugin work without Paid Memberships Pro?
It is built specifically as an add-on for Paid Memberships Pro. It relies on that platform's membership levels and member accounts, so you would need Paid Memberships Pro running on your site for the login limits to apply.
Can I give different membership plans different login limits?
Yes. Login limits can be set based on membership level, so you can allow a single active session on one plan and a higher number on another, such as a team or household plan.
What happens when a member logs in on too many devices?
Once the limit is reached, earlier sessions are ended automatically so only the allowed number remain active. The member sees a customizable message explaining that their login limit was exceeded.
Can an admin clear a member's sessions manually?
Yes. A Reset Sessions link on the users list lets administrators clear a member's active sessions, which is handy if a member gets locked out or changes devices.

The code of PMPro - Limit Logins is licensed under the GPL, so anyone may use, change and share it. GPL Feast is a paid service: a plan or a single purchase gives you the download and automatic updates. The developer's own support, licence key and online services are not included.
