login 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. (1997-08-03) |
