If anyone wrote that as a story, any editor would have insisted that the protagonist's name cannot be "Login".

Samo Login, which means Just Login (as in "just do it"). Quite amusing name :D It was deliberate, obviously.

Samo is Slovenian version of Sam. "samo" means "only"/"just" but pronounced a bit differently than Samo.
