GitHub's Security Log Feature



GitHub provides a very detailed Security Log for your account. A snapshot of the browser based report is shown below:
Apart from showing the logs in browser, it also allows you to export them as CSV or JSON (as of February 23, 2021). As an example, suppose a user tried your username with a wrong password, some failed login logs will be generated as given below: @xyz_user xyz_user – user.failed_login Failed to login 124.253.221.80 Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India 30 seconds ago The way it tracks location is not so accurate, see the logs below: 124.253.63.52 -- Jalandhar, Punjab, India -- 6 minutes ago 125.62.97.170 -- Ludhiana, Punjab, India -- 1 hour ago 124.253.111.135 -- Mohali, Punjab, India -- 2 days ago 124.253.221.80 -- Chandigarh, Chandigarh, India -- 2 days ago Dated: February 22, 2021
