At which step does it fail? Any error message?

I have been using OAuth for months. Initial pitfalls for me were:

* Make sure being logged into your bot account in the browser when
performing OAuth registration.
* Before trying to log in with OAuth, bot needs to be logged out. Use
"pwb.py login -logout", or perhaps clear cache files under .pywikibot
(but be careful to not delete config files).
* You will need to check "This consumer is for use only by <your
name>." on Special:OAuthConsumerRegistration/propose.
* You will also need to check relevant items under "Applicable grants:"

(Context for others: OAuth login seems to work as a workaround for
this login breakage.)
