Description

It is currently possible to lock a user session to a user agent using $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'][$loginType]['lockHashKeyWords'].

However, user agents are no means of security and can be trivially spoofed by an attacker.
As of TYPO3 8.5 only 'useragent' is accepted in $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS'][$loginType]['lockHashKeyWords'], which can be considered removed.

IP protection should not be affected by this
