Detect Suspicious Login Locations

Flag logins from unexpected geographic locations by comparing IP geolocation against known user patterns.

Quick answer: Use the IP Geolocation tool through ToolRouter to detect suspicious login locations directly from Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw — connect once, then drive it with plain-language prompts. No code required.

Account takeovers often reveal themselves through impossible geography. A user who always logs in from London suddenly appears from Lagos -- that is a red flag worth investigating. IP geolocation provides the location data needed to spot these anomalies.

The lookup skill resolves login IPs to precise locations. Compare the result against the user's historical login locations to detect impossible travel (logging in from two distant cities within minutes), unfamiliar countries, or known high-risk regions. This is the same technique banks and enterprise security teams use for fraud detection.

This approach catches compromised credentials before damage is done. Instead of waiting for the user to report unauthorized access, you detect it at login time and can trigger step-up authentication, temporary locks, or admin alerts.

How to detect suspicious login locations with Claude, ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and OpenClaw

Claude brings analytical rigor to login anomaly detection by calculating geographic distance, assessing travel feasibility, and evaluating ISP fingerprints against user baselines. It asks clarifying questions about your security thresholds to refine the risk assessment for each flagged login attempt.

How to detect suspicious login locations with Claude

Once connected (see setup above), use the IP Geolocation tool:

  1. Ask Claude: "Look up the location of this login IP using ip-geolocation" and provide the IP
  2. Claude returns the geographic details
  3. Ask: "Compare this location against the user's previous logins from New York"
  4. Claude flags whether the location is suspicious based on distance and timing

Example prompt for Claude

Try this with Claude using the IP Geolocation tool
Look up the location of 185.220.101.34. A user who normally logs in from San Francisco just authenticated from this IP. Is this suspicious?

Tips for Claude

  • Check for VPN and proxy indicators in the ISP data
  • Compare timestamps between logins to detect impossible travel
  • Build a baseline of normal login locations for each user
