I recommend that we replace all cases of using "login" as a verb with "log in" -- for example:

Restricted access - please login to continue.

Because...

"Login" is the noun (or adjective).
- Examples of correct usage: "local login button" "Drupal login form"
"Log in" is the verb.
"Log into" -- so far, I'm finding mixed results on this phrase; I think it's okay to leave as-is (i.e. "Log into Drupal").
- Here's a English & Language Usage Stack Overflow thread on the topic.

Grammarist
Wictionary ("verb" >? "misspelling of "log in")
Stack Overflow, two threads: this thread, this other thread
And, Drupal itself:
- https://www.drupal.org/user/login
- https://www.lassp.cornell.edu/user/login
  - Specifically the parts of the page that come from Drupal, not our module (i.e. the page title and submit button).
