:ref:`rest_single_bug`. However, authenticating yourself allows you to see
non-public information, for example, a bug that is not publicly visible.
-There are two ways to authenticate yourself:
+To authenticate yourself, you will need to use API keys:
**API Keys**
API keys may also be requested via :ref:`Authentication Delegation <auth-delegation>`.
-**Login and Password**
-
-You can specify ``Bugzilla_login`` and ``Bugzilla_password`` or simply
-``login`` and ``password`` respectively, as arguments to any call, and you will
-be logged in as that user if your credentials are correct.

-**Bugzilla_login** string A user's login name.
-**Bugzilla_password** string That user's password.
-====================== ======= ==============================================
-
-There is also a deprecated method of authentication described below that will be
-removed in the version after Bugzilla 5.0.
-
-**Bugzilla Tokens**
-
-You can use :ref:`rest_user_login` to log in as a Bugzilla user. This issues a
-token that you must then use in future calls. Just use the value for ``token``
-and pass as either ``Bugzilla_token`` or simply ``token`` as arguments to an
-API call.

-================== ====== ===================================================
-name type description
-================== ====== ===================================================
-**Bugzilla_token** string You can specify this as argument to any call,
- and you will be logged in as that user if the
- token is correct. This is the token returned
- when calling :ref:`rest_user_login` mentioned
- above.
-================== ====== ===================================================
-
-An error is thrown if you pass an invalid token; you will need to log in again
-to get a new token.

-Also starting with Bugzilla 5.0, login cookies are no longer returned by
-:ref:`rest_user_login` due to security concerns.
