RPI2026F1 created this task. RPI2026F1 added projects: Pywikibot, Pywikibot-login.py. Restricted Application added subscribers: pywikibot-bugs-list, Aklapper.
TASK DESCRIPTION **Feature summary** (what you would like to be able to do and where): There should be a way to indicate to pywikibot when the login is a main user login, so it won't take the deprecated route for login. **Use case(s)** (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution): Whenever I login via my username and password to pywikibot, I get the deprecation error `Main-account login via "action=login" is deprecated and may stop working without warning. To continue login with "action=login", see [[Special:BotPasswords]]. To safely continue using main-account login, see "action=clientlogin"`. Since there is a non-deprecated route to take, it should be possible to indicate somehow that the account is not a bot password login. **Benefits** (why should this be implemented?): Would allow username and password logins to continue working indefinitely.
