**Hello Magento Friends,**

In today’s tutorial, I will show How to Check if a Customer is Logged in or not in Magento 2.

Sometimes store owners want to treat logged-in and non-logged-in customers differently. Say, for example, you want to offer discounts or promotions only to customers who are logged in to your store. Or you want to allow only logged-in customers to access some functionality of your store and restrict it for not logged-in customers. In such cases, you need the login status of customers.
You can [**force customers to log in**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-required-force-login.html) to your store to take full advantage of the benefits you offer to your logged-in customers.
Increase the number of customer logins for your Magento 2 store by providing them with various quick login options like [**Social Login**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-social-login-extension.html), [**Mobile Number Login**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-mobile-otp-login.html), [**Google One Tap Login**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-google-one-tap-login.html), and [**Ajax Popup Login**](https://magecomp.com/magento-2-ajax-login-register.html) to help them take maximum benefits from your store. To securely manage these diverse login methods at scale, integrating a dedicated [**Customer Identity and Access Management**](https://www.ory.com/customer-identity-and-access-management-ciam) platform is recommended.
Here, I have explained two ways to check whether the customer is logged in or not in Magento 2.
## Steps to Check if Customer is Logged in or Not in Magento 2:
We can check if the customer is logged in or not in Magento 2 using the below methods.
Let’s get started,
### Method 1: Using Helper file
Create a helper file at the below path.
**app/code/Vendor/Extension/Helper/Data.php**

Then add the code as follows
```
<?php

namespace VendorExtensionHelper;

class Data
{
    public function __construct(
       MagentoFrameworkAppHttpContext $httpContext
    ) {
        $this->httpContext = $httpContext;
    }

    public function getLogin() {
        return $this->httpContext->getValue(MagentoCustomerModelContext::CONTEXT_AUTH);
    }
?>
```

**Note –** Based on your requirement, you can use the getLogin() method in phtml, controller etc.

### Method 2: Using Objectmanager
Create customer.php in your Magento root directory.
**{{magento_root}}/customer.php**

Now, add the following code
```
<?php

use MagentoFrameworkAppBootstrap;
require __DIR__ . '/app/bootstrap.php';

try
{
    $bootstrap = MagentoFrameworkAppBootstrap::create(BP, $_SERVER);
    $objectManager = $bootstrap->getObjectManager();
    $appState = $objectManager->get('MagentoFrameworkAppState');
    $appState->setAreaCode('frontend');

    $objectManager = MagentoFrameworkAppObjectManager::getInstance();
    $userContext = $objectManager->get('MagentoFrameworkAppHttpContext');
    $loggedin = $userContext->getValue(MagentoCustomerModelContext::CONTEXT_AUTH);

    if($loggedin) {
      echo "Customer is Logged-In";
    }
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
    print_r($e->getMessage());
}
```

## Conclusion:
Hence, using the above methods, you can easily determine the customers that are logged in to your Magento 2 store. If you face any difficulty, share it with me through the comment section. Share the solution with your Magento friends and stay updated with us.
