blogin

Blogin is a neologism formed by combining blog and login. In computing, it is used informally to refer to the authentication process that grants access to a blog platform, including the admin interface, author accounts, and API access. Because it is not a standardized term, its precise meaning can vary by context, but it typically denotes the login mechanism used by a blog, whether via a web form, an API token, or single sign-on.

In practice, blogin involves user credential verification, session management, and protections to secure access. Modern blog systems may support password-based authentication, as well as token-based methods such as OAuth 2.0 or JSON Web Tokens for programmatic access, and may offer optional two-factor authentication. Key security practices include password hashing, secure cookies, TLS encryption, rate limiting, and robust password reset workflows.

Examples of how the concept appears in real-world platforms can help clarify its use, even if the term itself is not standard. WordPress provides a login path at wp-login.php and an administrative interface at wp-admin. Ghost exposes its editor and settings area under a dedicated admin path, commonly referred to as the Ghost admin interface. Blogger generally uses Google account sign-in to manage blogs, which illustrates how third-party authentication can serve as a form of blogin for multi-platform access.

Because blogin is not an official technical term, references to it typically occur in informal discussions, documentation, or code comments rather than in formal standards.
