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](active_sessions.md).
