Hi,
"Authentification" is the french word for authentication. Many french
speaking people do the mistake when they write documentation in english I
myself did it for a long time...).

Regards,
Didier.

And if there's a difference between
authentication and authentification, I can't tell.

This one's easy. There is no such word, "authentification."

Not in American English, agreed.  I didn't mention this in my post
because it was just a theory at the time, but it seems to be commonly
used by Europeans, and/or people who speak or write English as a
second language, not a native language.

One might expect to see such minor differences in an international
forum.  A search on Google for "authentification" illustrates the
point.
