You might want to take a look at that to figure out why logins aren't working.  It is possible that the default VuFind driver behavior is not correct for your particular ILS configuration.  In the case of Horizon, I believe the driver is trying to use barcode number as username and pin number as password.

If you choose this approach, they will be prompted separately for Horizon credentials if they try to view account information (by default this will be referred to as "catalog username" and "catalog password," but you can edit the templates to insert more appropriate language).
