  I don't know what happened yeterday but the login works now for me and the my 
test clients. Maybe there was a wrong password given (although I don't believe 
that) and my test clients as well as my sysop account were affected and a 
captcha token was needed to login. I found this captcha form beneath the 
password form during normal login via web interface several times before the 
2FA token was asked for. Therefore im am pretty sure that a captcha token was 
expected during Pywikibot login but there was no hint for that given by any 
response during the login process e.g. with UI status. Strangely, the captcha 
was displayed even though email addresses are given for all accounts.
  
  Anyway the login works for me now. Thank you for your help for this matter.
  
  btw the error message is given when the status code of the response is 
'FAIL', see
