TASK DESCRIPTION
  as outlined in T248471 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248471> the code
  
    # needs patch as outlined in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T248471
               #self.site.login(password=self.getPassword())
               password=self.getPassword()
               lm = LoginManager(password=password, site=self.site, 
user=self.user)
               lm.login()
  
  does not perform as intended. I get an error message i have replaced wiki 
lang and user with tags to hide the original message details:
  
    Logging in to <wiki>:<lang> as <user>
    WARNING: API error readapidenied: You need read permission to use this 
module.

    WARNING: Could not check user <user> exists on <wiki>:<lang>
    Password for user <user> on <wiki>:<lang> (no characters will be shown): 
Warning: Password input may be echoed.
  
  I'd expect that the API calls are not done but a straight login attempt. If 
API calls must be done and fail this should not lead to the password be 
forgotten. It shoul not be mandatory to check the user with a siteinfo call.
  
  May be we need a parameter that forces this behavior to avoid this hard to 
debug situation.
