+=======================================================================================
+Breaking: #68890 - Cleanup dual-use of auth_timeout_field in AbstractUserAuthentication
+=======================================================================================
+
+Description
+===========
+
+In ``AbstractUserAuthentication`` the variable ``auth_timeout_field`` could previously either contain the
+name of a field or a timeout-value in seconds. To specify a fieldname the variable can be used as before.
+To specify a timeout-value, a new property called ``sessionTimeout`` is introduced that can be set to an integer >= 0.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+If some extension reads the value, the default is changed from an integer (0) to an empty string.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+Extensions modifying ``auth_timeout_field`` to a numeric value should switch to using ``sessionTimeout``.
