# Session
## Deprecation Notice
1. Starting in GitLab 9.0, this feature will be *disabled* for users with two-factor authentication turned on.
2. 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.
