+Using Multiple User Checkers
+----------------------------
+
+.. versionadded:: 6.2
+
+    The ``ChainUserChecker`` class was added in Symfony 6.2.
+
+It is common for applications to have multiple authentication entry points (such as
+traditional form based login and an API) which may have unique checker rules for each
+entry point as well as common rules for all entry points. To allow using multiple user
+checkers on a firewall, a service for the :class:`Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\User\\ChainUserChecker`
+class is created for each firewall.
+
+To use the chain user checker, first you will need to tag your user checker services with the
+``security.user_checker.<firewall>`` tag (where ``<firewall>`` is the name of the firewall
+in your security configuration). The service tag also supports the priority attribute, allowing you to define the
+order in which user checkers are called::
+
+.. configuration-block::

+    .. code-block:: yaml

+        services:
+            App\Security\AccountEnabledUserChecker:
+                tags:
+                    - { name: security.user_checker.api, priority: 10 }
+                    - { name: security.user_checker.main, priority: 10 }
+
+            App\Security\APIAccessAllowedUserChecker:
+                tags:
+                    - { name: security.user_checker.api, priority: 5 }

+                    <tag name="security.user_checker.api" priority="5"/>
+                </service>
+            </services>
+        </container>
+
+    .. code-block:: php
+
+        // config/services.php
+        namespace Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Loader\Configurator;
+
+        use App\Security\AccountEnabledUserChecker;
+        use App\Security\APIAccessAllowedUserChecker;
+
+        return function(ContainerConfigurator $configurator) {
+            $services = $configurator->services();
+
+            $services->set(AccountEnabledUserChecker::class)
+                ->tag('security.user_checker.api', ['priority' => 10])
+                ->tag('security.user_checker.main', ['priority' => 10]);
+
+            $services->set(APIAccessAllowedUserChecker::class)
+                ->tag('security.user_checker.api', ['priority' => 5]);
+        };
+
+Once your checker services are tagged, next you will need configure your firewalls to use the
+``security.user_checker.chain.<firewall>`` service::

+.. configuration-block::
+
+    .. code-block:: yaml
