  login 
 
    (Or  "log  in",  "log  on",  "logon")  To  start  a  {session} 
  with  a  system,  usually  by  giving  a  {user  name}  and  {password} 
  as  a  means  of  user  {authentication}.  The  term  is  also  used  to 
  mean  the  ability  to  access  a  service  (also  called  an  account), 
  e.g.  "Have  you  been  given  a  login  yet?" 
 
  "Log  in/on"  is  occasionally  misused  to  refer  to  starting  a 
  session  where  no  authorisation  is  involved,  or  to  access  where 
  there  is  no  session  involved.  E.g.  "Log  on  to  our  {Web 
  site}!" 
 
  login"  is  also  the  {Unix}  program  which  reads  and  verifies  a 
  user's  user  name  and  password  and  starts  an  {interactive} 
  session.
