    * kube-apiserver: the OpenID Connect authenticator no longer accepts tokens from the Google v3 token APIs, users must switch to the "https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v4/token" endpoint.

- If BoundServiceAccountTokenVolume is enabled, cluster admins can use metric `serviceaccount_stale_tokens_total` to monitor workloads that are depending on the extended tokens. If there are no such workloads, turn off extended tokens by starting `kube-apiserver` with flag `--service-account-extend-token-expiration=false` ([#96273](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/96273), [@zshihang](https://github.com/zshihang)) [SIG API Machinery and Auth]

* **[alpha]** New Bootstrap Token authentication and management method. Works well with kubeadm. kubeadm now supports managing tokens, including time based expiration, after the cluster is launched.  See [kubeadm reference docs](https://kubernetes.io/docs/admin/kubeadm/#manage-tokens) for details.

<p>
Tokens form the vocabulary of the Go language.
There are four classes: <i>identifiers</i>, <i>keywords</i>, <i>operators
and punctuation</i>, and <i>literals</i>.  <i>White space</i>, formed from
spaces (U+0020), horizontal tabs (U+0009),
carriage returns (U+000D), and newlines (U+000A),
is ignored except as it separates tokens

 * kubeadm: The Token-related fields in the `MasterConfiguration` object have now been refactored. Instead of the top-level `.Token`, `.TokenTTL`, `.TokenUsages`, `.TokenGroups` fields, there is now a `BootstrapTokens` slice of `BootstrapToken` objects that support the same features under the `.Token`, `.TTL`, `.Usages`, `.Groups` fields.

enabled by default. When enabled, Secret API objects containing service account tokens are no longer auto-generated for every ServiceAccount. Use the [TokenRequest](https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/kubernetes-api/authentication-resources/token-request-v1/) API to acquire service account tokens, or if a non-expiring token is required, create a Secret API object for the token controller to populate with a service account token by following this [guide](https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/configurati...

- Upon receiving a LIST request with an expired continue token, the apiserver now returns a continue token together with the 410 "the from parameter is too old" error. If the client does not care about getting a list from a consistent snapshot, the client can use this token to continue listing from the next key, but the returned chunk will be from the latest snapshot.

### VMware

- SAML token delegation (required for Zones support in vSphere) is now supported ([#78876](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/78876), [@dougm](https://github.com/dougm))
- vSphere SAML token auth is now supported when using Zones ([#75515](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/75515), [@dougm](https://github.com/dougm))
