UI Terminology: Logon vs Login
Which is the right one to use
- Sign in
- Log in
- Login
Being a non-native English speaker it is difficult to distinguish them. I guess I should have asked at dictionary.com forum but I need a technical answer.
A new "User Accounts" Windows will open. Under the “Users” tab, check if you can see two usernames with the same name. If you see duplicate usernames, select on. Now, click on “Remove”.
In computer security, logging in (or logging on, signing in, or signing on) is the process by which an individual gains access to a computer system by identifying and authenticating themselves.
Please make sure you have signed out all accounts in Office and quit the applications. After this, you can go to Credential Manager> Select Windows Credentials> Under the Generic Credentials, delete any items which relate to Microsoft Office. Restart PC and try to sign in office applications and check the result.
Either of the first two are fine I'd say.
Not the third though - "Login" is a noun (if it is really a word at all): "What is your login?"
The other two are verbs "to sign in", or "to log in".
Sign In
If you're dealing with an application/website that deals with people
E.g. Sign in to my space, sign in to my blog
Log in
for other applications.
E.g. Log in to the system, Log in on your computer
I've switched to using Sign In/Sign Out/Sign Up for my own apps on the basis that it's slightly less technical language than Log In/Log Out.
Either "log in" or "sign in" is fine.
Just make sure you're consistent (see: Login/Logout vs Sign In/Sign Out vs Log in/Sign out – A short roundup.
