+Use Access Control to Require Authentication
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Previously, if the firewall wasn't configured with ``anonymous`` support,
+it automatically required users to authenticate. As the new firewall
+always supports unauthenticated requests (:ref:`authenticators-removed-anonymous`),
+you **must** define ``access_control`` rules to enforce authentication.
+Without this, unauthenticated users can visit pages behind the firewall.
+
+If the application doesn't use roles, you can check for
+``IS_AUTHENTICATED_REMEMBERED`` to require authentication (both normal and
+remembered):
