| Hi all,
It seems that ClientLogin no longer works (even for 2FA accounts) for any bot user because a captcha response is required but there is also no read permission for the initial step. See T396927 for it.
Any ideas how to proceed?

Hi all
client login still works and there is no breaking change expected except the bot is not running interactively. I have implemented EmailAuth last week and merged it last Friday. It is a generic implementation of the previous implementation of 2FA login.
Anyway high frequent running bots should use BotPassword or OAuth especially if they are not running interactively.

Hi folks,
This will possible break a lot of bots. Manual how to switch at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/BotPasswords
One liner I use on Toolforge to
test if it still works:
toolforge jobs run --image
python3.11 --filelog-stdout logs/login.log --filelog-stderr
logs/login.log --command "~/pyvenv/bin/python3 ~/pywikibot/pwb.py
login.py -lang:commons -family:commons" login

Hi!
Since the introduction of AuthManager in 2016, there are two officially
supported authentication methods for bots:
action=""> with a normal
password has been deprecated for a decade, and action="">
API was never supported for non-interactive login.
Still, in the past, these methods worked most of the time -
often enough that many bots kept using them.
This is going to change very soon as we are introducing
more interactive challenges during login to improve account
security. If your bot still uses one of the non-supported
methods, please change it now. Usually this only requires
generating a bot password via Special:BotPasswords and giving
the bot that instead of your normal password.
For the change that prompted this email, see T395205. There will probably be
more such changes in the future, and they won't be announced
separately.
Thanks for your understanding, and for your help in
evolving the Wikimedia developer ecosystem.
