Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
org.springframework.security.web.bind.support.AuthenticationPrincipalArgumentResolver Use AuthenticationPrincipalArgumentResolver instead.
org.springframework.security.crypto.codec.Base64 Use java.util.Base64
org.springframework.security.crypto.password.LdapShaPasswordEncoder Digest based password encoding is not considered secure. Instead use an adaptive one way function like BCryptPasswordEncoder, Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder, or SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use DelegatingPasswordEncoder which supports password upgrades. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is a legacy implementation and using it is considered insecure.
org.springframework.security.crypto.password.Md4PasswordEncoder Digest based password encoding is not considered secure. Instead use an adaptive one way function like BCryptPasswordEncoder, Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder, or SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use DelegatingPasswordEncoder which supports password upgrades. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is a legacy implementation and using it is considered insecure.
org.springframework.security.crypto.password.MessageDigestPasswordEncoder Digest based password encoding is not considered secure. Instead use an adaptive one way function like BCryptPasswordEncoder, Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder, or SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use DelegatingPasswordEncoder which supports password upgrades. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is a legacy implementation and using it is considered insecure.
org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.endpoint.NimbusAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient Use DefaultAuthorizationCodeTokenResponseClient
org.springframework.security.crypto.password.NoOpPasswordEncoder This PasswordEncoder is not secure. Instead use an adaptive one way function like BCryptPasswordEncoder, Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder, or SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use DelegatingPasswordEncoder which supports password upgrades. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is a legacy implementation and using it is considered insecure.
org.springframework.security.web.server.ServerFormLoginAuthenticationConverter use ServerFormLoginAuthenticationConverter instead.
org.springframework.security.web.server.ServerHttpBasicAuthenticationConverter Use ServerHttpBasicAuthenticationConverter instead.
org.springframework.security.crypto.password.StandardPasswordEncoder Digest based password encoding is not considered secure. Instead use an adaptive one way function like BCryptPasswordEncoder, Pbkdf2PasswordEncoder, or SCryptPasswordEncoder. Even better use DelegatingPasswordEncoder which supports password upgrades. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is a legacy implementation and using it is considered insecure.
org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.servlet.configuration.WebMvcSecurityConfiguration This is applied internally using SpringWebMvcImportSelector

Deprecated Annotation Types

Annotation Type and Description
org.springframework.security.web.bind.annotation.AuthenticationPrincipal Use AuthenticationPrincipal instead.
org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.servlet.configuration.EnableWebMvcSecurity Use EnableWebSecurity instead which will automatically add the Spring MVC related Security items.
org.springframework.security.access.method.P use @{code org.springframework.security.core.parameters.P}

Deprecated Methods

Method and Description
org.springframework.security.web.server.ServerFormLoginAuthenticationConverter.apply(ServerWebExchange)
org.springframework.security.web.server.ServerHttpBasicAuthenticationConverter.apply(ServerWebExchange)
org.springframework.security.web.session.ConcurrentSessionFilter.determineExpiredUrl(HttpServletRequest, SessionInformation) Use ConcurrentSessionFilter.ConcurrentSessionFilter(SessionRegistry, SessionInformationExpiredStrategy) instead.
org.springframework.security.crypto.encrypt.Encryptors.queryableText(CharSequence, CharSequence) This encryptor is not secure. Instead, look to your data store for a mechanism to query encrypted data.
org.springframework.security.oauth2.client.web.AuthorizationRequestRepository.removeAuthorizationRequest(HttpServletRequest) Use AuthorizationRequestRepository.removeAuthorizationRequest(HttpServletRequest, HttpServletResponse) instead
org.springframework.security.web.server.authentication.AuthenticationWebFilter.setAuthenticationConverter(Function<ServerWebExchange, Mono<Authentication>>) As of 5.1 in favor of AuthenticationWebFilter.setServerAuthenticationConverter(ServerAuthenticationConverter)
org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.socket.AbstractSecurityWebSocketMessageBrokerConfigurer.setMessageExpessionHandler(List<SecurityExpressionHandler<Message<Object>>>)
org.springframework.security.web.session.ConcurrentSessionFilter.setRedirectStrategy(RedirectStrategy) use ConcurrentSessionFilter.ConcurrentSessionFilter(SessionRegistry, SessionInformationExpiredStrategy) instead.
org.springframework.security.core.userdetails.User.withDefaultPasswordEncoder() Using this method is not considered safe for production, but is acceptable for demos and getting started. For production purposes, ensure the password is encoded externally. See the method Javadoc for additional details. There are no plans to remove this support. It is deprecated to indicate that this is considered insecure for production purposes.

Deprecated Constructors

Constructor and Description
org.springframework.security.web.session.ConcurrentSessionFilter(SessionRegistry, String) use ConcurrentSessionFilter.ConcurrentSessionFilter(SessionRegistry, SessionInformationExpiredStrategy) with SimpleRedirectSessionInformationExpiredStrategy instead.
