Kalle Nemvalts, et al. maintain a style guide for the IS&T
publication, Berkeley Computing and Communications, at:
http://istpub.berkeley.edu:4201/style/
In the extensive word list linked from this style guide, the
following forms are given:
log in (v)
log on (v)
login (n, adj)
login id
logon (n, adj)
Another, similar word list is at the University of Indiana:
http://www.indiana.edu/%7Euitspubs/terms/
login (Adj. or noun, one word.)
log in (Verb, two words.)
log into (Verb + "to.")
You might also be able to find additional style guides and word
lists by conducting a search using the terms "style guide" (or
