# Session API

|
>**Deprecation notice:**
|
|
Starting in GitLab 8.11, this feature has been **disabled** for users with

[two-factor authentication][2fa] turned on. These users can access the API
|
|
using [personal access tokens] instead.
|
|
|
|
You can login with both GitLab and LDAP credentials in order to obtain the
|
|
private token.
