Did I use the phrasal verb "went into" correctly?
There was this girl who greeted my sister on facebook. I "went into" her account and the first thing I looked at was her profile picture. Is this correct?

Yes, we often say "Go there" when going TO a site on the Internet and Go Into when, once you get there, you explore it. It seems quite natural to me to say that.

One thing that seems to vary online is "Log On" vs "Log In." Did you know you can Google phrases like that? you write something like
["Log on" vs "Log in" ] in the search bar, click on the search button and a list of sites where that is discussed will drop down. Maybe. They "try" to list relevant things for the searcher, but sometimes they don't do so well. (By the way, you write well and if you have simple questions you could email me. My email is available. Thanks!) I'm trying to figure out how I would Google your question here, and I'm not getting any ideas!! Well I just did it.
I wrote (or you can say "I put") "Would I say "I 'go into' an account" online?" and I did not get a discussion about this, but I got a whole lot of quotes of people talking about "going into accounts." so that would confirm to you that you were correct.
