Into vs. In To: One Word or Two?

Into is a preposition showing movement or transformation. In to is in + to from a verb phrase.

Into is one word when showing movement toward or transformation: "She walked into the room." "He turned into a frog."

In to is two words when "in" belongs to a verb phrase and "to" starts an infinitive: "Log in to your account." (You log in, and "to" goes with "access.")

If you can insert "in order," you probably need two words: "Give in to temptation" → "Give in (order) to temptation." ✓

Examples

Log into your account.

Log in to your account.

She walked in to the room.
