-Generate backend-to-backend secret for dev mode
+Auto-generate secrets for backend-to-backend auth in local development environments.
+
+When NODE_ENV is 'development', the ServerTokenManager will now generate a secret for backend-to-backend auth to make it simpler to work locally on Backstage instances that use backend-to-backend auth. A secret must still be manually configured as described in [the backend-to-backend auth tutorial](https://backstage.io/docs/tutorials/backend-to-backend-auth).
+
+After the change, the static `fromConfig` method on the `ServerTokenManager` requires a logger.
+
+```diff
+-  const tokenManager = ServerTokenManager.fromConfig(config);
+  const tokenManager = ServerTokenManager.fromConfig(config, { logger: root });
+```
