Answer 1

If it helps anyone out in cakephp version 3.7.8 session has been depriciated to getSession so to update Lee Nielsen's comment

if (is_null($this->request->getSession()->read('Auth.User.username'))) {

echo "....logged out";

} else {

echo "You are Logged in As " . $this->request->getSession()->read('Auth.User.username'); 

}
