IP adress - Recent login history

[Jagy]

Add ip adress from which someone logged in. Like in gmail. Thanks

Why? IP means nothing. Any half intelligent person can spoof it or use a VPN to change it. Thats one reason banning accounts by IP will never work.

And IP address when someone tries to login with wrong password/authenticator code.

They can spoof it. But you could see was it you or someone else logged in to your account.

My point is that IP means nothing. Doesn't matter whether it originates in the US, UK, Europe, Asia or China. All that can be faked. The only info you need to know is IF a login attempt failed or succeeded when it originates from an unknown device/browser. The IP it comes from is worthless.

Well atleast you can be 100% sure if it was you who logged in.. And not everyone is using paid VPN services.

You get an email for unsuccessful logins with this info even though it is not really necessary to have the IP.

You also have these for successful logins...

Oh, this thing is so inconsistent.
I only log in from my PC at home and it never guessed the city correctly.
On Google maps I marked my actual location and the most common locations Steam shows me on that link.

That is your ISP doing that. Talk to them.

Cathulhu has stated it is very inconsistent and even far away at times.

Mine stays within 20 miles from where I am.

As you can see on the map, mine goes to another country.
The farthest one is more than 160km (100 miles) away from my actual location.

@Eldin it's your ISP, he not lying, trust me. It works 100% for me, and even done testing in Canada it works.
