I disagree. To authenticate something is to challenge it to prove its identity. Authentication is much broader in scope than "login," even within the narrow domain of computer science. JWT signing, domain certs and so forth fall under the "authN" header and use the same cryptographic tools and techniques... even many forms of user authN don't have a "login" flow. Why would we choose "login" - which is more of a special case than the norm to describe something we already have a precise term for? |
