The principle is the same: You "sign in" or "sign on" using your "sign-in"
or "sign-on" (or perhaps using your "sign-in name" or "sign-on name" or
"user name" or whatever it's called in your context).
Hyphenate (or concatenate) the noun form; don't hyphenate the verb form:
"log in," "log out," "log off," "sign in," "sign off," "sign off," and so
on.

I've heard people refer to your "login" as your user name.
And you log on with your log in. Sounds pretty confusing to me.
Maybe try Sign-in and Sign-out for the verb.
