17841	Clarify authentication backend documentation	Jeremy Blanchard	Luke Granger-Brown	"The current text for the ""NOTE"" in [https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/#specifying-authentication-backends this section of the documentation] reads:

Once a user has authenticated, Django stores which backend was used to authenticate the user in the user's session, and re-uses the same backend for subsequent authentication attempts for that user. This effectively means that authentication sources are cached, so if you change AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS, you'll need to clear out session data if you need to force users to re-authenticate using different methods. A simple way to do that is simply to execute Session.objects.all().delete().

It is pretty awkwardly worded in my opinion. It should be improved."	Cleanup/optimization	closed	Documentation	1.3	Normal	fixed		django@…	Ready for checkin	1	0	0	0	1	0
