Have always heard login - I'd definitely stay with this. logon seems to reference a console or mainframe; it also has a broader vowel sound which makes it a bit awkward. - Alan On Wed, 2 Mar 2005, Barry Wellman wrote:
Which is the preferred usage: "login" or "logon". For my paper writing, I'd like to standardize on one.
Google shows: "login": 218 Million hits "logon": 6.7 Million hits
so there is a 30:1 preference for login vs. logon. But I'd love to hear some more debate.
