Help talk:Pywikibot

I've been using Pywikibot for 4-5 years (last edits Dezember 2020). But I now get:

pywikibot.data.api.APIError: Failed: The supplied credentials could not be authenticated. During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsername: Username "WiseWomanBot" does not have read permissions on vroniplag:de.The supplied credentials could not be authenticated.

I used https://vroniplag.wikia.org/de/wiki/Spezial:BotPasswords to set a new password - that didn't work. I changed the password back, still doesn't work. I can log onto the bot with a browser, but not with PWB. Is it a problem that our wiki is only available in German? Greatful for any ideas what else I can try. --WiseWoman (talk) 09:54, 16 May 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm having the same problem with my bot. Updated PWB and Python, created new user-config, family files, etc., as I was having different issues before, and now I'm having trouble signing back in. "pywikibot.exceptions.NoUsernameError: Username "SV7" does not have read permissions on tardis:en. The supplied credentials could not be authenticated." (No issues editing manually when I sign in with that account.)

 * I had gotten my bot working again in Jan 2021 after some issues, and haven't had much time to use it since then. Been in operation since 2013, so some files have carried forward over the years, potentially causing issues. However, I already tried creating a new user-config, a brand new family file for Tardis, and updating both PWB and Python. I've tried looking online, and haven't found much help. Anyone else experiencing this?
 * Forgot to mention, it's also the same issue trying to log in on other Fandom wikis. "Username "SV7" not have read permissions on [wiki]:en. The supplied credentials could not be authenticated." × SOTO  ( ☎ / ✍ / ↯ ) 03:26, 24 July 2021 (UTC)

What I'm starting to find is I need to use Special:BotPasswords now for some reason. Never had to use this before; I always used the real password that goes in-browser, and it's never been an issue before. Is this related to us updating our MW? × SOTO  ( ☎ / ✍ / ↯ ) 20:51, 3 August 2021 (UTC)
