It can be difficult for a person who is just starting to master the Internet to understand the specific terms used on the Internet. So, access to a variety of resources or even a simple mailbox is carried out using a username and password. A beginner naturally arises a question: what is a login? Where can I get it?
The term "login" is borrowed from the English language. The word log itself is translated (among other things) as "log", and log with the preposition in - "log" or "log in". Therefore, the word "login" can be interpreted as a label in the log, that is, the name used for registration and login.
Login can consist of letters, numbers, or a combination of both. This set of printable characters must be unique so that the system in which you intend to work can identify you and not be confused with other users. The second defining criterion is the password. It is needed in order to confirm that it is you who want to get access to certain information, and not another person who accidentally typed your login.
Each user comes up with a login for himself. Unlike a password, it is recommended to use a simple and short name that is easy to remember and enter from the keyboard. For example, on any mail service, the login serves as part of your email address ([email protected]). You will not only have to constantly enter your username to check your correspondence, but also dictate the address to other people. If the login is complex, it will be problematic to do so.
Registering and logging in under their username gives the user the opportunity to manage his account: edit personal data and perform a number of actions that are not available to other - unauthorized - users.
On the forums, there is such a thing as "nickname" or "nickname", which denotes a pseudonym under which a person communicates with other people. Sometimes the username and nickname can be the same, and sometimes not. Often, to simplify registration (and the user's life), a person's e-mail address is used as a login, and he invents a nickname for himself. Carefully read the fields that you fill out when registering on the sites in order to avoid mistakes.
