Does anyone have an idea what the difference is between these two fields are apart from one being a date field and the other being a date time field?

I know Last Login time gets auto populated by the system whenever a user logs-in, but I've never seen Last Login populated.

That's been my experience on my developer instance where only Last Login Time gets updated but I have seen on client instances where Last Login has been updated with the same date as the Last Login Time. I got a sneaking suspicion that Last Login is updated via LDAP or SSO logins but I only have prod access so I don't have an ideal sandbox to test that out.
It's a small detail but I was curious what the need was for two fields that in my opinion fulfill the same purpose.

I have LDAP & SSO and neither are pushing to that field out of the box. Maybe they're using a custom script to track something?

I think Last Login field is deprecated. Last Login Time is used to store the last login time to ServiceNow for a user.
