I am pretty confident that the password file can be in any directory, even with compat. Just put the location of the file into the `user-config.py` variable `password_file`.
And if you have problems, I strongly suggest that you migrate to using pywikibot-core. Come on IRC https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/pywikibot-core/ if you need help converting to pywikibot-core. Or send me your scripts via email and I will send you back a core version of the scripts.
