I am writing a memo and here's my first sentence:
Access to the system is through a logonid and a password.
Could I use any of these for my second sentence?
1. Operations, Technical Support and Network each use a separate set of logonid and password.
2. Separate sets of logonids and passwords are used by Operations, Technical Support and Network.
I wish you could give me a model structure for this type of sentence.

logonid = login
2. Seperate logins and passwords are used by Operations, Technical Support and Network (ops?).

Usenet is like a herd of performing elephants with diarrhea - massive, difficult to redirect, awe-inspiring, entertaining, and a source of mind-boggling amounts of excrement...

I'm curious! Is the second sentence the better choice, or it may be that the first sentence is really wrong?

Both suffer from 'logonids' (I don't think that's really a word!)
But overall I prefer the second.
