LOGIN_HISTORY view: User task sessions report authentication_method as None (Pending)¶

Attention

This behavior change is in the 2026_07 bundle.

For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle history.

When this behavior change bundle is enabled, the authentication_method column in the LOGIN_HISTORY view reports None instead of NULL for sessions created by user tasks.

Before the change:: The authentication_method column is NULL for user task sessions because these sessions don’t use an external authentication mechanism.
After the change:: The authentication_method column is None for user task sessions. This explicitly indicates that no authentication method was used, making it easier to distinguish task sessions from rows where the value is genuinely unknown.

If you have queries or reports that filter on authentication_method IS NULL to identify user task sessions, update them to filter on authentication_method = 'None' instead (or use authentication_method IS NULL OR authentication_method = 'None' during the transition period).
