If your Login module only contains one class and nothing else, then
you should remove the module and use only the class. You will still
have the naming conflict if you should want another Login class.

A different approach would be to encapsulate all the classes related
to a particular website in a module.


module MyWebsite
  class Login
  end

  class UserInfo
  end

  # etc.
end
