Logging means accessing or entering a platform or a digital system.
Logue is a verb that is frequently used in our language, although it is not part of the dictionary developed by the Royal Spanish Academy ( RAE ). Its use usually occurs in the context of computing .
The term derives from the English expression log in , which refers to the action necessary to access a system . Logging, therefore, is equivalent to log in : entering a platform or a digital tool .
The action of logging
In order for a user to log in and use a certain service, they must first register in the system in question. Suppose a person wants to use an email account. For this you must complete a registration form in Gmail , Hotmail or Yahoo! , to mention a few options, accepting their conditions and generating a username and password. With this data in your possession, you can log in by entering the corresponding information and thus take advantage of your email.
Logging, in short, implies identifying yourself . If only registered users have access to a system, the interested party must demonstrate that they have this permission, indicating their username and password when requested.
To log in, you must enter your username and password.
Password choice
When it comes to starting to log in to a website or platform, it is essential to choose the password or key appropriately. And it is the way to prevent it from being "hacked" with some ease.
For this reason, it is established that when choosing said key it is essential to take into account a series of important tips:
-The more complex it is, the better. And it will be more difficult for someone to discover it. Therefore, it is recommended to enter upper and lower case letters, numbers and even symbols.
-It is necessary to avoid using too simple sets of words or numbers as such. That is, you should avoid opting for "12345678" or "abcdef", for example.
-Likewise, it is recommended not to use words or numbers associated with the person in question as passwords. Thus, for example, it is not recommended that Manolo Pérez use Pérez or what would be his date of birth as his code.
-In addition, computer experts also advise using different keys for each web page or platform. And this prevents a hacker from finding the password from being able to access all of that person's spaces.
It should not be overlooked that on different websites it is expected that the user may have forgotten their password when logging in. In that case, you will only have to click on the phrase: "I forgot my password." In this way, the steps to follow to recover it will be sent to your email.
Log out, system exit
The opposite of logging in is unlogging , equivalent to the English log off . In this case, the subject wants to exit the system and, to do so, logs out.
As you can see, the action of logging has become common in everyday life. An individual must log in to check their email, operate their bank account via the Internet , sell products on eBay or enjoy series through Netflix , to name a few possibilities.
