<dialog>, but it's not yet widely implemented.
In the meantime, probably <article> or <section> or <aside>, depending on
exactly how the login window is set up: <article> if it would make sense
if it was on its own page, <aside> if it's the spiritual equivalent of a
sidebar login form (probably not if it's modal), <section> otherwise.
