logs in

Enters the system

Logs in is to gain access to a computer system, website, or application by entering credentials—typically a username and password: I can't log in; I forgot my password.

The act establishes your identity and opens a session.

Also written as one word: login (noun) or log-in.

The opposite is log out.
