Re: Do you log on or logon to a website?

This is what we do in my organization as well. We use log in as a verb
and login as a noun or an adjective. We use the unhyphenated form.

Good luck,

This is the fairly standard dictionary treatment, I think, though  "logon," the no-hyphen form, is also widely accepted as the noun form. As for whether to use "on" or "in," I don't think it matters.
