# Breaking: #65939 - Backend Login Refactoring {#breaking-65939}

See [forge#65939](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/65939)

## Description {#description}

For the refactoring of the backend login we introduce Fluid as template engine and remove the old marker template.

It was necessary to remove the signal `LoginController::SIGNAL_RenderLoginForm` which will no longer be emitted.

Additionally the following methods of `LoginController` have been removed:

-   `LoginController::makeLoginBoxImage`
-   `LoginController::wrapLoginForm`
-   `LoginController::makeLoginNews`
-   `LoginController::makeLoginForm`
-   `LoginController::makeLogoutForm`

## Impact {#impact}

The mentioned methods are no longer available and a fatal error will be triggered if used.

## Affected installations {#affected-installations}

All installations which make use of the `LoginController::SIGNAL_RenderLoginForm` signal or use the removed methods:

-   `LoginController::makeLoginBoxImage`
-   `LoginController::wrapLoginForm`
-   `LoginController::makeLoginNews`
-   `LoginController::makeLoginForm`
-   `LoginController::makeLogoutForm`

## Migration {#migration}

Use the introduced Fluid view to adapt the login screen to your demands.
