The first one who logs out. That's called 'The Waterfall Logout'.

Hay! That's brilliant! We add that suggestion to the answer: "When any user logs out, log 'em all off"

The first question is why do you care if someone logs in more that once a day?

That's what I was wondering.
Along with Antimatter and Dark Matter they've discovered the existence of Doesn't Matter which appears to have no effect on the universe whatsoever!

Misunderstood requirements:
Requirement : "User shouldn't be able to do X more than once a day" (e.g. backup)
How it is understood: "I'll not let the user login more than once a day, where's the question of doing X more than a day?"

Don't let the user do more than one backup per day regardless of how many times they log in.

You are overengineering the solution - Just keep the user logged in for 24 hours
I will never again mention that Dalek Dave was the poster of the One Millionth Lounge Post, nor that it was complete drivel.

All that energy put in reaching the one-million mark for the sole sake of getting some easy up-voting on your articles. I think that you need a better strategy

Or make a log file with username and date and check if this user logged in with existing date in table prevent him from logging in else he is logging in for the first time then add the entry to the log table.

Well, that's hardly evil, is it? A dumb way to do it, yes. But not actually evil.

Sure, it is evil. These solutions are quick and dirty. We can't really use them for production.

You can if you are an Evil Overlord, or a Klingon.

Why should you care how many times someone logs in. Restrict their actions when they try to do something that is not allowed.

I suspect it might be more of a requirement turning into a different one due to the limitations of the existing application. E. g. if the user is not allowed to do X more often than once a day, but the app only keeps track of that while he's logged in...

I read this twice because I didn't understand what you were saying the first time. I still don't understand what you re trying to say.
Are you saying that when a person is logged out they can do something. Otherwise if they are logged in then you have control over how many times they perform an operation in a given period of time regardless of how many times they log in during that time period.
