Requested feature overview description.
A function that emails you if your ip location drastically changed, asks if it's you and gives an option to log out all active log ins and change the password like facebook has.
An example is that some asshat in Porto Rico tried to log into my Facebook a couple of days ago, soon as I got that email I changed my password.
I've seen a few sites that have a page that lists your "access" records, it lists ips and location, date of access etc.
The only issue I can really spot would be people using proxy, they would have the alarms going off every time the proxy switched over to a new ip.
Why would it be useful?
I think this would help keep people from getting stealthily hacked, or at least alert the person to the problem. FA and Inkbunny could really benefit from that kind of set up too...especially with fa's "we've been hacked!" Record.
What part(s) of the site page(s) are affected?
Login/Email

Lance Armstrong: There could be a setting to display the last attempt as a banner above news, only display a (red) banner if the IP doesn't match the last one used, or never display a banner. Then have last 5 attempts always logged on Settings page, or better yet, My Account where there is lots of whitespace. It could be hidden in an expandable section under the options list.
Proxy users can pick the setting that makes sense for them.
