Ask HN: Login or logon?
Where are we this today? From a UI perspective, is login/logout now universally preferred over log on/log off? Is it regional? Which came first?
This terminology question has always lingered for me. Thanks!

On the web, you'll almost always see log "in"/"out". You sign into a website or service.
However, I would think you log "on"/"off" a machine like a PC. You sign onto a computer or local network. But I've never seen this term on like a web service.
Just keep it consistent in your app/service/tool/etc
