[wp-hackers] How to know if a user has never logged in?

[John Blackbourn]

The way that I do it is to check for the wp_capabilities usermeta
field. This value only gets set to something the first time a user
logs in. Not ideal, but saves adding an extra meta field.

if ( get_usermeta( $user_id, $wpdb->prefix . 'capabilities' ) )
    // user has logged in at least once
else
    // user has never logged in

Definitely the need for a proper API method though.

HTH, John.
