Yes, and, of course, there all lots of options:

  *  use a relational database table, indexed by user id (maybe ip-address)
     to count logins

  *  use a file per user on the file system to count logins

  *  use a small persistent object per user to count logins.
     Note that each login will write this object to the ZODB.
     Therefore, you place it either on a non-undoable storage
     or ensure, it is really small.
