Remarks

For new users, the LastLoginDate is equal to the CreationDate if the user has not yet logged on. The LastLoginDate is updated to the current date and time if a call to the ValidateUser method is successful.

You can also modify the last login date by setting the LastLoginDate property of a MembershipUser and passing the modified MembershipUser object to the UpdateUser method.

The SqlMembershipProvider sets the CreationDate, LastLoginDate, LastActivityDate, and LastPasswordChangedDate date to the same date and time when a membership user is created by the CreateUser method.
