First of all, I found out something really interesting: when I run the bot
against test.wikipedia.org it works without any issues. When I run it against
fa.wikipedia.org I get that Login Failed error followed by the script asking
for my password.
This made me remember that on fawiki we do not assign admin bots to the
"sysop" group; instead, we assign them to the "botadmin" group. I added my bot
to the "sysop" group as well and re-run it, and it did not show any error
messages. So whatever is the issue has to do with the "botadmin" group (or more
specifically, with the differences between its rights and that of the "sysop"
group).
Comparing the rights of the two groups, the only thing that stood out was
that "sysop" has the "noratelimit" right but "botadmin" does not. But my bot is
both in the "botadmin" and the "bot" group and the latter has the "noratelimit"
right. To further make sure this is *not* the cause of the problem, I modified
the script so that it would wait 20 seconds before each blocking and it still
showed the Login Failed error.
With that knowledge, I also did what you asked me, @Dalba, and here is the
output:
Cannot log in when using MediaWiki\Session\BotPasswordSessionProvider
sessions. HujiBot@HujiBot REDACTED
The value of the REDACTED is the same as my BotPasswords key, obviously. I am
not sure how to interpret that error message.
