Asp.net User Login Count and LastLogin

Question

Is the normal way to do this to just make 2 cols in my User table, loginCount and lastLogin, and then when a user is Authenticated hit the db and update them in the code behind?

I am using OpenID only.

Is there a better way?

Answer 1

Look into the asp.net membership provider it does everything for you.

Answer 2

I use the same solution and it works for me (and my clients, too) :)

Answer 3

If you have not considered Built-in Security Features for Memberships and Roles management, have a look at these tutorials. What you are about to start working on, might have already been implemented.
