Usage

Very common in digital/tech contexts (websites, apps, databases). Often used with direct objects like "site", "sistema", "conta", "dados". While widely used in Brazil, prescriptivists sometimes prefer "aceder" (more traditional) or "ter acesso a", but "acessar" dominates in everyday speech and writing.
