  Thx. There is a followup problem. When trying to login to a Mediawiki 1.33.2 
system I get:
  
    WARNING: API error readapidenied: You need read permission to use this 
module.
    WARNING: API error readapidenied: You need read permission to use this

    ERROR: APIError: readapidenied: You need read permission to use this module.
    [help: See http://.....bitplan.com/api.php for API usage. Subscribe to the

    WARNING: API error readapidenied: You need read permission to use this

    WARNING: Could not check user ... exists on ...:en
    Password for user ... on ...:en (no characters will be shown): Warning:

  So there is a lot of activity the framework does on the API which still fails 
to deliver the login.
  
  I'd prefer an API where login means login and not checking whether there is a 
user and other  other stuff which eventually leads to not login in but asking 
for a password which was already supplied ...
