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. The user credentials are typically some
form of "username" and a matching "password",[1] and these credentials themselves are
sometimes referred to as a login (or a logon or a sign-in or a sign-on).[2][1] In practice, modern
secure systems often require a second factor such as email or SMS confirmation for extra
security.
