I've been at this issue many times...
With Symfony's new authentication system introduced in 5.2 you may create a class like this:

namespace App\Security;

use App\Entity\User\User;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\RequestStack;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authentication\UserAuthenticatorInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\AuthenticatorInterface;
use Symfony\Component\Security\Http\Authenticator\Passport\Badge\RememberMeBadge;

/**
 * Login a user programmatically.
 */
class UserAuthenticator
{
    private $requestStack;
    private $symfonyAuthenticator;
    private $authenticator;

    public function __construct(UserAuthenticatorInterface $symfonyAuthenticator, AuthenticatorInterface $authenticator, RequestStack $requestStack)
    {
        $this->requestStack = $requestStack;
        $this->symfonyAuthenticator = $symfonyAuthenticator;
        $this->authenticator = $authenticator;
    }

    public function loginUser(User $user): ?Response
    {
        $request = $this->requestStack->getMainRequest();

        return $this->symfonyAuthenticator->authenticateUser($user, $this->authenticator, $request, []);
    }
}

The Authenticator is used for the "success handler". Since Im using the FormAuthenticator and my firewall is called default I can use the following service definition:

App\Security\UserAuthenticator:
        autowire: true
        arguments:
            $authenticator: '@security.authenticator.form_login.default'

Uh oh!
