This page is about whether the correct spelling of verbs such as "set up" is "set up" or "setup"...
The purpose of this page is to help stop the increasingly widespread incorrect usage of verbs, spelling them as one word when they should actually be written as two.

A quick Google search for login "log in" two words verb reassured me that I'm not the only one concerned about this. There are many pages dedicated to correcting the mistaken ways of those who think "login" is a verb...
"Login" is not a verb (http://loginisnotaverb.com/). : This is my favorite. The title says it all; I could not have said it any better. And that is a great domain name too! I kind of wish I had beat them and registered it first! :)
That makes the "log in" idiom unusual, but far more plausible than pretending that we have an irregular verb "login" with something like "logdin" as a past ...

(To do: Do any printed dictionaries confirm this?)
Surely you must agree with some of the examples given above (you wouldn't write "Please fillin..." or "I'm going to warmup...", for example!). And if you agree with some of those examples, then I ask you to consider in what way the other examples are different.
I would suggest that they are not different—they are all simply [separable] verbs—and if you agree that any of them should be written as two words, then to be consistent you would have to concede that all of them should follow the same rule.
Here I will amass a convincing collection of usage examples, preferably from respectable software applications, high-profile web sites, or publishers, in the hopes that it might convince those who aren't yet so enlightened...

In German, there are such (trennbar) verbs as these as well—many, many of them, in fact. And in German, there very strict and consistent rules about when the parts of the verb are separated and when they are not.
You would be considered very illiterate indeed, for example, if you were to write "Ich stimmezu" or "Ich zustimme" rather than "Ich stimme zu".

Spell "log in" / "sign up" correctly as verbs (https://uservoice.uservoice.com/pages/general/suggestions/7172).
I realize that "login" and "signup" are pretty common misspellings of those verbs (especially among technical people), but the fact remains that they are still MISspellings (unless you're actually using the word as a noun or adjective). I see that you did use the correct spelling in a few places, like https://uservoice.com/account/new ("Once your account is set up..."), so that at least is encouraging! Now to track down those last few remaining places that need correcting... :)

... Joomla has two main hierarchies for User Groups: one for access to the Front-end (so users can log in to [perfect!] the web site and view designated sections and pages) and one for Back-end Administration access. ... These Users are able to login [oops] to the Front-end web site. Additional information (sections and pages) may be available to a user once logged in.
http://help.joomla.org/content/view/228/153/1/2/. -- Here is a rare case where they confused things the other way: they incorrectly used "log in" for the noun (instead of the usual, which is to incorrectly use "login" for the verb):
As administration User Groups they have the access permission to log in to [perfect!] the web site as well as to the Administrator Back-end - via a separate log in [adjective -- incorrect] process. They can view all Content that is Classified as Registered Access, Public Access, as well as Special Access. Manager: The Manager User Group inherits the access permissions of the Publisher User Group in the Front-end of the web site and, in addition, its members are allowed access to the Administrator Back-end (Control Panel) via a separate log in [noun -- incorrect].
In the interest of objectivity, I will also keep a collection of examples to support the other [leaning]. If you can find any examples at all, though, most of them are probably from relatively illiterate, lazy, uninformed, or inconsistent people, or people that just don't give much thought to such insignificant things as spelling and grammar... well, individuals, I should say, because "people" as a whole don't write things.
My hypothesis is that in most of the cases where one finds a two-word-verb-written-as-one-word mistake, there will be another spelling or grammatical mistake nearby. (Other mistakes, if any, will be highlighted in the examples given below.) In general, I believe that works containing two-word-verb-written-as-one-word mistakes will contain more spelling and grammatical mistakes overall; in other words, I believe there is a statistically significant correlation between those two statistics; in other words, the one is an indicator of the other; in other words, ... there are no other words.

[text box to enter passage] Lookup [button]
[Example of a case where [] are inadequate. It is used the first time to describe something that isn't there, that can't be represented sufficiently at all as plain text (a text box). It is used the second time to describe something that was converted to plain text but which is ambiguous and requires extra explanation (to point out that it is the text on a button, not simply plain text on the web page.]

Wow. Whoever wrote that (and I assume it was an individual who came up with that wording and not the corporation as a whole) must not have realized that the verb "look up" is two words rather than one.

It's important to note that this file [~/.ssh/authrorized_keys] can contain many keys and that you don't want to overwrite it every time you setup 'agent on a new machine. The second method for transferring your public key, mentioned above, will not overwrite the file. One of the gotcha's of this process is the permissions on both the ~.ssh directory and the ~/.ssh/authorized_keys file
Actually, they're an example of a site that can't make its mind, a site that is inconsistent!

(Or, Why do people write it as one word?)
I think a lot of the blame should go to content creators and tech people -- software developers, web site maintainers, ... -- because:
svn checkout. Even though the verb that that is executing is "check out this repository for me", the command you execute is "checkout". Since that's all people see -- and they type it on the command line over and over -- it is not too surprising that they should assume that's what the verb is too (even though it's not).So I think a lot of it starts with technical people / content creators. Who then spread their misinformation via means of their products themselves, documentation, support forums, etc.
And then users get infected with the misinformation and help to perpetuate it. Until perhaps they themselves become developers / content creators someday and have an even more direct influence on the proliferation or anti-proliferation of that misinformation...
