Of what sort? We have OAuth support (#1576), session support and #1301 suggests per-user support too, which'd be good. Not to mention SSO type auth too...

It'd be nice not to add yet more types of authentication unless necessary, each one has introduced new security flaws.

The idea is the same as features #1301 and #8016. The background is authenticating once with user/pass to get a token (which by default lasts for 2 hours) to make future api/calls rather sending user/pass on every API call in the header.

How is session support related to this bearer token support? Is it the same?

A user who has authed via the usual login page will have a Rails session and cookie, which works to auth against the API. Katello (an Angular app I believe) relies on this as the client-side JavaScript queries the API using the active session.
