Login vs Account

account

'der Account' and 'der Login' both belong to the use of websites, apps, or software. 'der Account' is the user account itself, meaning the personal access to a service. 'der Login' means either signing in to this service or the login details for it. Learners easily confuse the words because you often need a username and password for both. But an account can exist for a long time, while a login is a process or the details for that process. So you create an account and use the login to sign in.
