Quick Intro 

At Adafruit, we have an option to help you keep logs of who is logging into your account.  If you choose to opt-in to the notification service, you will receive an email every time your account is logged into. 

The email will contain:

1. Public IP of the device used to log into your account
2. Username/email of the account being accessed on Adafruit
3. The data and time your account was accessed

An email example is shown in the screenshot below:

Instructions

To opt-in to receive the notification, it's as easy as 123,

2. Go to Account. This is next to your name in the upper right hand of the screen for desktop/laptop when you are logged in. On mobile, select the three horizontal lines in the upper left and touch Account (you need to Sign In to get the Account option).

Monitoring on your account is important. If there is a suspicious login you do not recognize, you can take immediate measures. 

Some measures include changing your password and revoking access to the device with the suspicious IP (Internet) address.
