I don't know enough about your requirements to say for sure, but in my uninformed opinion, the best thing would be to switch from Pywikibot Compat to Pywikibot core. :-) Looking at pages such as <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Pywikibot/Compat/deprecation>, it seems the Compat version of Pywikibot is completely dead and no longer supported. Retrofitting Compat to support current login code doesn't sound like fun to me. I think the API documentation should probably be made a bit clearer as I think there are now two deprecated ways of logging in. We should likely make it more explicit which way applies to which versions of MediaWiki. This allows developers to have a quicker and easier understanding when determining how much compatibility code is needed in a specific tool/script/application.
