v3.44.0

## [v3.44.0](https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/compare/v3.43.0...v3.44.0) (2025-06-27)

### 🚨 Notice 🚨

**If your project uses the local auth strategy with `db-postgres` or `db-sqlite`, a migration is required.** This is due to a new security feature (enabled by default) that stores a unique auth session identifier in the database.

To opt out and continue using the previous behavior, you can disable the feature by setting `auth.useSessions: false` in your users collection config.

For example: 

```ts
// payload.config.ts
collections: [
  {
    slug: 'users',
    auth: {
      useSessions: false,
    },
    fields: [],
  },
],
```
