Joomla 3: How to Track User Login History and Activity (IP Address/User/Action/Date)

Joomla 3.9 introduced user action logs, a Joomla core feature that tracks registered site users actions such as logins, backend activity, and more. User action logs are useful for tracking forensic activity over a period of time. By default, user action logs only track Joomla based actions and do not track actions of 3rd party components or software.
