Login Logs
Login Logs record information related to back-office users signing in to Finger Manager, including login time, login result, login method, source IP, device information, and abnormal login events.
They help institutions understand back-office account access and quickly investigate abnormal sign-ins, account locks, authentication failures, and other security issues.
Login Logs are an important part of the Finger Manager security audit system.
What are login logs
Login Logs are back-office access records automatically generated by Finger Manager.
Whenever a back-office user attempts to sign in, the system can record the event whether it succeeds or fails.
Examples include successful login, failed login, SSO login, MFA verification, account lock, account unlock, session invalidation, abnormal login attempts, and other authentication-related events.
These records show when, from where, and by which method a back-office account accessed the system.
01. Login log fields
Each login log can include login time, back-office user, User ID, Organization, login method, login result, IP address, country / region, device type, operating system, browser, Session ID, authentication method, MFA status, failure reason, and risk status.
Different login methods can record different fields.
02. Successful login records
When a back-office user successfully signs in to Finger Manager, the system creates a success record.
For example: User = Aki Tanaka, Login Time = 2026-08-28 15:32:18 JST, Login Method = SSO, IP Address = 203.0.113.10, Result = Success.
Successful login records confirm the actual access time and source of an account.
03. Failed login records
When a user fails to sign in, the system can also record the attempt.
Failure reasons can include authentication failure, wrong password, SSO verification failure, MFA verification failure, disabled account, locked account, invalid session, insufficient permission, or authentication timeout.
For example, Result = Failed and Reason = Authentication Failed. These records are important for account troubleshooting and abnormal access detection.
04. SSO login records
Finger Manager can use SSO for identity authentication.
After a user authenticates with a Finger Grid Account, access to the corresponding Finger Manager environment is determined by Organization, role, and permissions.
SSO login logs can record Finger Grid Account, SSO login time, Organization, login result, Session, IP address, and device information.
The unified identity system allows authentication across Finger Grid products to be managed consistently.
05. MFA records
If an institution enables multi-factor authentication, login logs can also record MFA verification status.
Examples include MFA Required, MFA Success, MFA Failed, and MFA Timeout.
A typical flow is: user completes SSO authentication -> system requires MFA -> user completes second-factor verification -> Finger Manager creates a login Session. The whole authentication process can generate related security records.
06. IP address
Login logs can save the source IP address used to access Finger Manager, such as 203.0.113.10.
IP information can be used for login troubleshooting, security analysis, region inference, risk control, and internal audit.
If the same back-office account signs in from several obviously different IP addresses within a short time, administrators can inspect those records further.
07. Country and region
Based on IP information, the system can record an approximate country or region, such as Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, or United States.
This information is mainly used for security analysis and access record display.
IP-based location is a network-level inference and does not necessarily represent the user's precise physical location.
08. Device information
The system can record the device environment used during login.
For example: Device = Desktop, Operating System = macOS, Browser = Chrome; or Device = Mobile, Operating System = iOS.
Device information helps administrators decide whether the login matches the user's normal usage pattern.
09. Login method
Finger Manager can distinguish different authentication methods, such as SSO, Password, MFA, Enterprise Identity Provider, API Authentication, or other institution-configured authentication methods.
For institutions currently using SSO, back-office login is mainly authenticated through the unified Finger Grid Account.
10. Session records
After a user signs in successfully, the system can create a corresponding Session.
Login logs can be associated with Session ID, Session Start, Session Expiry, Logout Time, and Session Revoked.
When the user signs out or the Session expires, the system can record the corresponding status.
11. Logout
In addition to login events, the system can record Logout.
For example, Login at 15:30 and Logout at 18:15.
If the user does not actively sign out and the Session ends by timeout, the system can record Session Expired according to its rules. This gives a more complete view of account access.
12. Account lock
When a user fails authentication repeatedly, the system can temporarily lock the account according to security policies.
A common flow is: multiple failed login attempts -> security rule is triggered -> account enters Locked status -> later login requests are rejected.
Login logs can save lock time, trigger reason, source IP, and failure count so administrators can decide whether the event was user error or abnormal access.
13. Account unlock
If an administrator unlocks an account, the system can generate a corresponding record.
For example: Action = Account Unlock, Operator = Security Admin, User = Aki Tanaka, Result = Success.
Account unlock is a security-related operation and can also be recorded in Operation Logs.
14. Abnormal login detection
Login records help institutions identify abnormal access patterns.
Examples include a large number of failed logins in a short time, logins from uncommon countries or regions, new device logins, fast switching between multiple IPs, access outside normal working hours, disabled accounts attempting to sign in, and repeated MFA failures.
When these patterns appear, administrators can inspect account status or security logs further.
15. Search login logs
When login log volume is large, search can quickly locate records.
Common search fields include user name, User ID, Email, IP address, Session ID, and Organization.
Searching a specific back-office user can show that user's historical login records.
16. Filter login logs
Login records can be filtered by time range, Organization, user, login method, login result, IP address, country / region, device type, and risk status.
For example, Time = past 24 hours and Result = Failed shows all failed login records from the most recent day.
17. View login history by user
Administrators can open a back-office user and view historical login records.
For example, Aki Tanaka in the past 30 days: Successful Login = 42, Failed Login = 2, Last Login = 2026-08-28 15:32 JST.
This helps quickly understand the account's usage status.
18. View records by IP
If an abnormal IP is found, administrators can search all access records for that IP.
For example, searching 203.0.113.10 can show which accounts used the IP, login times, success / failure status, and device information.
This is useful for analyzing bulk abnormal logins or shared network environments.
19. Last login time
Back-office user details can show Last Login, which quickly confirms the most recent successful Finger Manager access time.
For example: Last Login = 2026-08-28 15:32 JST.
If an account has not signed in for a long time, administrators can decide whether the account still needs to be retained.
20. Never logged in accounts
Newly created but unused back-office accounts can display Never Logged In or No Login Record.
Administrators can use this to confirm whether the invitation was accepted, whether the user completed account registration, and whether the user has started using Finger Manager.
21. Login logs and role permissions
Login logs are also controlled by permissions.
Normal back-office users may only view their own login records. Organization Admin can view login records for users under the current Organization. Security Admin or Super Admin can view login records across multiple organizations if authorized.
This prevents normal employees from viewing other users' security access history.
22. Login logs and operation logs
Login Logs mainly record who entered the system, including login time, IP, device, authentication method, and login result.
Operation Logs mainly record what the user did after entering the system, such as create, edit, publish, delete, permission changes, and other back-office operations.
Used together, they provide complete back-office behavior tracing. For example, at 15:30 Login Logs show Aki Tanaka signed in successfully. At 15:35 Operation Logs show Aki Tanaka changed AAPL trading hours.
23. Security incident investigation
When an institution finds an abnormal back-office operation, it can first use Operation Logs to identify the operator, then inspect that user's Login Logs at the same time.
For example: a critical permission was changed at 15:35 -> check Operation Log to confirm the account -> check Login Log to confirm login time, IP, country, device, and login method -> decide whether the operation was normal.
This correlation significantly improves security investigation efficiency.
24. Log retention
Login logs can be retained according to institutional security or internal management requirements, such as 90 days, 180 days, 1 year, or multiple years.
Administrator account logs, security incidents, and abnormal access records can use longer retention periods.
25. Login log export
Administrators with the required permission can export login logs for internal security audit, abnormal login investigation, compliance checks, IT security analysis, and management reports.
Because login logs contain IP, device, and account access information, export permission should be managed independently.
26. Security and privacy
Login logs are mainly used for system security, access control, and internal audit.
When using, storing, or exporting login logs, institutions should follow their internal security policies and applicable data protection rules.
Full login-log access should not be granted to unnecessary personnel.
Login log workflow
The workflow can be understood as: back-office user accesses Finger Manager -> Finger Grid / SSO authenticates identity -> MFA is performed if required -> system records the login request -> authentication succeeds or fails -> Login Log is generated -> user, time, IP, device, and authentication result are recorded -> Session is created after success -> user starts using Finger Manager -> logout or Session expiry occurs -> corresponding Session / Logout status is recorded.
Typical use cases
Check last login time Confirm whether an employee recently used Finger Manager.
Failed login troubleshooting When a user reports that they cannot enter the back office, administrators can inspect the specific failure reason.
Abnormal IP investigation When an unknown IP is found, administrators can search related login history.
Security incident investigation Combine Login Logs and Operation Logs to reconstruct the account access environment for an important back-office operation.
Offboarding account check Confirm login behavior before and after an employee account is disabled.
Login Logs are an important part of the Finger Manager security and access audit system.
By recording back-office login time, authentication method, IP address, device information, and login result, the system helps institutions understand actual back-office account access.
Together with Operation Logs, role permissions, and account security policies, Login Logs can form a complete audit chain: who signed in, from where, when, whether authentication succeeded, and what actions were performed after login.
