Hum.
Something subtle is happening here.
When I log in using the following in my user_config.py:
password_file = "secretPassword"
usernames['commons']['commons'] = u'COHBot@GAR'
and with "('COHBot@GAR', <GeneratedPassword>)" in a file called
secretPassword the bot logs in as "COHBot@GAR"
but without the password_file line I simply get:
Username 'COHBot@GAR' does not exist on commons:commons.
This is because login.py calls check_user_exists() before asking you for
the password and that function does not deal with the BotPassword username.
Tracking this on https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T142623 and I'll put
together a patch. Untill then you can use the password_file solution.
