Good question! I’ve wondered that myself, but I never came to a conclusion.

well.. if you were to trust Merriam-Webster dictionary, there is no such word as Login. Instead it is “log in”.. so a proper english would be “log into”. But then again “login” has become a word associated with computers.. so “login to” would also work when used in the context…

That’s what I thought as well. I mean, if you think about tenses, it’s “Logged into the system” right? So login may exist as a new NOUN but certianly not a verb. Like “what’s your login?”

well.. and “Logined” breaks number of linguistic rules for english..

I believe you are correct Kev. “login” is a noun … that being your username. The verb is still “log”, so you would “log in”, not “login”.

Hey Kevin, Just reading over your site….being a copywriting/technical writer I have the definitive answer. You use your login to log into a system. So as stated before, login is the noun; log in / log on are the verbs. ~Ash
