Login / logon

'Login' and 'logon' (one word) I've both seen as nouns and adjectives. You agree?

But now I'm starting to see 'login' used as a verb.

Example:

If you want to post a message or comment, you will be prompted to login.
Is this correctly used as a verb?

If so, will we start using 'login' as a verb in this sense?
You will be prompted to login to the computer.

Is it:

log onto the website?
-or-
log on to the website?

Thanks.

Victo: The usage of terms associated with rapidly-changing technologies will change over time. However, some sources I checked were all consistent - they cited login as a noun and log in (to) or log on (to) as the verb ( Log off or log out is the opposite). Regards, A- s
