Hello all ,
I’m looking for a plugin that for example if I registered to the website from PC number #1
I will be able to connect to this account only from this PC and not another one
I’m selling courses and I want to sell them to account but I don’t want the buyers to submit the account and everyone can approach the courses he bought in the account

That won’t be possible because you will be locking them based on the IP adress and the moment someone will change their location the download won’t work anymore. What if the users is on laptop? How will you prevent it then? What if he is on phone? That’s 2 devices already and the program will threat them as 2 different attempts from same location.
instead of focusing on this and trying to make a lock, instead focus on the good product and there won’t be any sharing happening since people will want your product.
Most of the good LMS and/or membership sites have features that help limit this kind of “double dipping.” Take a look at Memberpress (which includes an LMS.) Or look at LearnDash.
Your concern is pretty common so most plugins will have some kind of safeguards or will at least have documentation and knowledge base articles about how to do it.
I’ll just add one thing based on decades of experience with online courses: a much, much bigger problem than users sharing passwords is getting even *paid* users to complete your courses! (Let alone sign up for them.)
Basically your content has to be hugely compelling before sharing will be an issue. For instance required continuing education to maintain certification in a field. But the certifying bodies will require authentic records from you. So simply stealing and taking your course won’t help — you can even look at your course as “free” but they pay for the completion verification.
That’s just one consideration but there are “social” safeguards that help prevent sharing/stealing of course logins for most course content areas.
