bejelentkezni

Bejelentkezni is a Hungarian verb meaning to log in or sign in to a system, service, or device by identifying oneself. It can also mean to report to a location or to enroll in an activity, such as bejelentkezik a munkahelyére or bejelentkezik egy szolgáltatásba.

Etymology: The word is built from the prefix be- (into, upon) and the verb jelentkezik, which carries senses like to report, to present oneself, or to sign up. The noun bejelentkezés denotes the act or process of signing in or registering.

Usage: In information technology, bejelentkezni is the standard term for gaining access by providing credentials. Common phrases include bejelentkezés, bejelentkezési adatok (login credentials), and bejelentkezési oldal (login page). Example: Bejelentkeztem a rendszerbe a felhasználónevem és a jelszavam megadásával. After signing in, the user can access the account or the service.

Bejelentkezés versus kijelentkezés: the opposite action is kijelentkezni (to log out) and its noun kijelentkezés. The two terms are closely related and are used to describe the start and end of an authenticated session, respectively.

Variants and forms: bejelentkezik (he/she/it logs in), bejelentkeztem (I logged in), bejelentkezem (I log in). The spelling is consistently one word, with hyphenation not typically used in standard Hungarian.
