Turn on auditing: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Audit_Configuration

Look up the audit for last login. You can find example queries here: http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Audit#Simple_audit_template_example.

NB: The audit queries might not work for your particular installation of Alfresco. But the ones on the wiki should get you started.

What kind of authentication protocol do you have ?
Basic Alfresco ? LDAP ?

I think the easiest way would be to create a custom aspect with 2 custom properties :

<property name="custom:personAspect_lastLoginDate">
         <type>d:date</type>
         </property>
<property name="custom:personAspect_thisLoginDate">
         <type>d:date</type>
         </property>
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then, you override java class AuthenticationComponentImpl adding custom code into the "authenticateImpl" method :

try
        {
            UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken authentication = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationToken(userName,
                    new String(password));
            authenticationManager.authenticate(authentication);
            
       // your custom Code here : if person exists and has not the custom Aspect, add it
       // update the custom properties : 
       // custom:personAspect_lastLoginDate = custom:personAspect_thisLoginDate
       // custom:personAspect_thisLoginDate = new Date;

            setCurrentUser(userName);

        }
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

Then you can modify any jsp if you decide to show this property.
For example, in the titlebar.jsp :

#{NavigationBean.currentUser.properties['customersonAspect_lastLoginDate']};
