Q. Is login a verb or only a noun? I’m wondering because the following sentence seems wrong to me: “To login to your personal account, enter your user name and password.” Shouldn’t it say log in as two words rather than login?

A. The verb is log in; log-in or login is the noun. You can confirm this in a dictionary or in the style guides from Microsoft and Apple.
