Morphology
The meaning 'to enter a computer system' is directly compositional from 'log' (to enter information or make an entry) plus 'on' (indicating active/connected), so a learner who knows both senses can infer signing into an account. This computing extension is common and patterned (log + on/in) across languages and contexts, making the expression immediately comprehensible to B1 learners familiar with the constituent words.
Etymology
Log on comes from the idea of a log — a book where people wrote their names — and the word on meaning 'present'. So to log on is like writing your name to 'enter' a computer or website, usually by giving your username and password.
