Which of the following is NOT a step required to view a web page?

To view a web page, the essential steps usually involve initiating a request to the server for that specific page and receiving a response. This process typically includes actions such as clicking a link or entering the URL in the browser, followed by the browser sending a request to the server, after which the server sends back the appropriate webpage to be displayed.

The step involving typing in login credentials is generally associated with accessing a secure or restricted area of a website, rather than a necessary step for simply viewing a web page. While logging in may be required for certain sites, it is not universally applicable and is not a required step for accessing all web pages. Thus, it is the option that stands out as not being essential for the general process of viewing said pages.
