FAQs

What is correct, login or log-in? ›

Login, spelled as one word, is only a noun or an adjective. For example, the information you use to sign in to your email is your login (noun), and the page where you sign in is the login page (adjective). Log in is two words when it functions as a verb.

Once you've opened the web address of your email provider, you will see a login page. Enter your email account's credentials (username and password) in the text fields provided. If you forgot your password, you can usually click the "Forgot Password?" link to reset it.

Sign in with Google helps you easily and securely sign in to third-party apps or services with your Google Account. When you use Sign in with Google, you don't have to enter a username and password repeatedly across different services.

On your computer, go to Gmail. Enter your Google Account email or phone number and password. If information is already filled in and you have to sign in to a different account, click Use another account. If you get a page that describes Gmail instead of the sign-in page, at the top right of the page, click Sign in.

“Log into” is sometimes used instead of “log in to,” but this is generally considered incorrect (as is “login to”).

The email login is usually an email address followed by an @ symbol, a space and then the user ID. For example, an email login might be john@example.com.

To sign in to your Google Account (or any Google product): Go to the sign in page of the product (for Google Accounts it is myaccount.google.com).

How do I log into an account? ›

Most websites' or services' login pages can be accessed by clicking a Log In or Sign In link somewhere on the home page (usually in the upper-right corner). Then you'll enter your email address (or other types of username) in the "Email" text field and your password in the "Password" text field.

Google's security technology helps detect suspicious account manipulation to protect your account better, and this protection extends to third-party websites. Security is not at risk here, but you may want to modify your privacy settings to control the information you want to share.

Tap the Gmail app icon on your home screen or in the App Drawer. Tap Sign in. It's at the bottom of the screen. If you aren't currently logged into your preferred Google Account on your Android, you can instead tap Add another email address, tap Google, and enter your email address and password when prompted.

Go to your Google Account. On the left navigation panel, select Security . On the Your devices panel, select Manage all devices. You'll see devices where you're currently signed in to your Google Account or have been in the last few weeks.
