A computer "login" is the process of identifying a user to a system, typically by providing a username and password, to gain access to a computer, network, or account. As a noun, "login" can refer to the details themselves (e.g., "enter your login") or the act of signing in (e.g., "The last login was at 8 AM"). As a verb, the action is spelled "log in" and means to connect to the system.
