    User::load() loads information about an account, it does not inject or alter the current session in any way. user_login_finalize() is one of the key functions.

    Is the same article that i refer on my question, but for novices as me, is not obvious the response in the related topic, due to acepted response says: Delete user_login_finalize($user); and this line of code is just the line that log an user.

User::load() loads information about an account, it does not inject or alter the current session in any way. user_login_finalize() is one of the key functions when doing programatic user logins because it will create and set a session for the current user.
