you can still login via the API,without having to use either oauth or
botpassword

I found bot passwords, but they offer very limited
user rights.
So the best thing is to try without API?

Use
action=query&meta=tokens&type=login instead.'}}
Then I went to
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Login.
Here is stated something completely else:
action=clientlogin
The intro section of that page explains which action to use.
I don't think the compat branch of Pywikibot supports OAuth; it
definitely
does not support action=clientlogin (which is not
meant for bots). It
will
work with action=login and bot passwords [1]
after [2] is merged.
