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.
