# Deprecation: #86466 - AbstractUserAuthentication->fetchUserRecord {#deprecation-86466}

See [forge#86466](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/86466)

## Description {#description}

Method `TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractUserAuthentication->fetchUserRecord()`
has been marked as deprecated.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling the method will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

The methods has been called indirectly via
`TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\AbstractAuthenticationService->fetchUserRecord()` as
`$this->pObj->fetchUserRecord()`. It has usually not been called directly through
custom authentication services. Instances are usually not affected by the change, the
extension scanner will find possible usages.

## Migration {#migration}

If used within authentication services, use `$this->fetchUserRecord()` instead, otherwise
copy the method around.
