Email notification for unknown sign-ins

When a user successfully signs in from a previously unknown IP address, GitLab notifies the user by email. In this way, GitLab proactively alerts users of potentially malicious or unauthorized sign-ins.

There are two methods used to identify a known sign-in:

  • Last sign-in IP: The current sign-in IP address is checked against the last sign-in IP address.
  • Current active sessions: If the user has an existing active session from the same IP address. See Active Sessions.
