Working on a login page (noun), I'm curious what the community uses for "Login" vs "Log in" and "Signup" vs "Sign up" in different scenarios.
According to the internets, "Login" is a noun whereas "Log in" is a verb but something about "Log in" as a prompt just looks weird to me...
Anyhow, as you can clearly see, I'm only focused on the super important aspects of building an MVP 😂😂 (screenshot is for the MVP of Simple Cron which is built using Saasify).
Depends how you use it, I think. If it's a button, "Login" looks nice. If it's a sentence, "Please log in" makes sense.
In your example, I'd made the top header "Login", the Github login button can stay the same, and the login button at bottom should say "Login".
Just my opinion though!
I never thought about it but now that you've said it I definitely agree.
100% agree
I'd say the action is to 'log in', for which you use credentials that could be called your 'login'.
It’s ‘sign in’ if you’re using it in parallel with ‘sign up’ copy 😛
If you we look at searches in Google Trends, it seems that "login" in one word is used a lot more often: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?geo=US&q=log in,login
Convention is two words.
I prefer to capitalize both words for headers, titles and buttons “Log In” looks less weird than “Log in” to me. But as a sentence I would lowercase the “in” (“Log in to use the app.”)
Or "Sign in". ;P
I think it's correct as shown. I didn't spend too much time searching for examples but at least github and twitter agree.
I also tend to use "login" as an adjective, so I'd say that is the login page where you log in.
