How it's used
Technology contexts in Hong Kong often prefer the English loanword login or the verb sign in over this term. While 登錄 is understood as the formal translation for logging into a system, it sounds slightly stiff or technical in casual conversation. You will hear people say 登入 more frequently for general account access.
Examples
Why can't I log in to the webpage?

Common mistake
Learners often confuse 登錄 with 登入. While they are interchangeable in many digital contexts, 登入 is the standard term for accessing an account, whereas 登錄 can sometimes imply a formal registration or recording process in other contexts.
