New Login Detected Email Notification
Overview:
This feature would automatically send an email alert to the account owner whenever a new login is detected on their Proton account. The goal is to enhance account security by providing real-time awareness of potentially unauthorized access.
đź“© How It Works:
- Trigger Event:
When someone logs into your Proton account from a new device, browser, or location that hasn't been previously recognized.
- Email Notification Includes:
- Date & Time of Login
- IP Address & Approximate Location
- Device Type & Browser Info
- Login Method (e.g., password, 2FA, recovery)
- Security Recommendations (e.g., “If this wasn’t you, change your password immediately.”)
- Optional Enhancements:
- A clickable button to "Secure My Account" or "Log Out All Devices"
- A link to view recent login history
- Option to report suspicious activity directly from the email
🛡️ Why It Matters:
Early Detection of Unauthorized Access:
If someone gains access to your account, you’ll know immediately—before they can do damage.Peace of Mind:
Even if the login was legitimate, users feel reassured knowing their account activity is being monitored.Proactive Security:
Encourages users to take swift action if something seems off, reducing the risk of data breaches.

Yes, the current system does not provide good logs unless going into the settings.
