Morphology

login = log in (semi-transparent) = in + log

The noun is directly based on the phrasal verb 'log in', so the meaning is easy to recover from the components.

Etymology

Login joins log ('record') and in ('into'), so a login is the name, page, or details you put into a system to get inside.
