Which is the right one to use

- Sign in
- Log in
- Login

Being a non-native English speaker it is difficult to distinguish them. I guess I should have asked at dictionary.com forum but I need a technical answer.

Either of the first two are fine I'd say.

Not the third though - "Login" is a noun (if it is really a word at all): "What is your login?"

The other two are verbs "to sign in", or "to log in".
