Manual talk:SessionManager and AuthManager

Links
Where can this be linked so that extension developers and sysadmins find it? At least Manual:Developing extensions and AuthPlugin I'd say. Did you make a list of keywords to find the interested developers? Among the most popular I'd guess there are SSO/single-sign-on, login integration, authentication; none of these finds satisfactory results on mediawiki.org via search engines.

API
Does it change the procedure of login through API functions? --Infovarius (talk) 15:53, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Somewhat.
 * If you're running a bot or other non-interactive tool, ideally you should switch to using OAuth, likely an owner-only consumer. But if you can't for some reason, you can set up a bot password and continue to use action=login as you always have. Using action=login with the "main" account password is no longer supported and might start to fail for an account without warning.
 * If you're maintaining an interactive app or tool, you again might use OAuth (not owner-only this time), or you might start using action=clientlogin to provide an interactive login flow.
