Restricted Application added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.
TASK DESCRIPTION
**Feature summary**:
We can have multiple accounts with pywikibot but if a user is changed, the
session access authoization stored by cookies is lost and password is required
again. For example
D:\pwb\GIT\core>pwb shell
Welcome to the Pywikibot interactive shell!
>>> s1 = pywikibot.Site(user='Xqtest')
>>> s1.login()
WARNING: No user is logged in on site wikipedia:de
Password for user Xqtest on wikipedia:de (no characters will be shown):
Logging in to wikipedia:de as Xqtest
>>> exit()
D:\pwb\GIT\core>pwb shell
Welcome to the Pywikibot interactive shell!
>>> s1 = pywikibot.Site(user='Xqtest')
>>> s1.login()
>>> s2 = pywikibot.Site(user='Xqtools')
>>> s2.login()
Password for user Xqtools on wikipedia:de (no characters will be shown):
Logging in to wikipedia:de as Xqtools
>>> s1.logged_in()
True
>>> s2.logged_in()
True
>>> exit()
D:\pwb\GIT\core>pwb shell
Welcome to the Pywikibot interactive shell!
>>> s2 = pywikibot.Site(user='Xqtools')
>>> s1 = pywikibot.Site(user='Xqtest')
>>> s2.login()
>>> s1.login()
Password for user Xqtest on wikipedia:de (no characters will be shown):
Traceback (most recent call last):
The access authorization should be kept for each account.
**Use case(s)**:
Cookies in pywikibot.lwp are stored for multiple sites but for a single user
only. Either find a way to store cookies for multiple sites and users
simultaneously or use different files for each user.
**Benefits**:
Would be great to store access authoization for each acount. This would be
simplify running scripts with multiple accounts without having to give the
password over and over again.
