Cannot login English Wikipedia

moose-again commented 4 years ago

I am having trouble logging in English Wikipedia using the http_auth_login method. No matter what I try, I cannot log in. I've made sure that my username and password were all on the right case, I've tried replacing the spaces in my username with "_", that didn't change anything. I keep getting Login in with authorization type login.. done, without authorization. Settings:

"English wikipedia":
        {
            "authorization_type": "login",
            "cookies_browser": "chrome",
            "domain": "",
            "host": "en.wikipedia.org",
            "http_auth_login": "[my username]",
            "http_auth_password": "[my password]",
            "https": true,
            "is_ssl_cert_verify": true,
            "is_wikia": false,
            "oauth_access_secret": "",
            "oauth_access_token": "",
            "oauth_consumer_secret": "",
            "oauth_consumer_token": "",
            "pagepath": "/wiki/",
            "password": "",
            "path": "/w/",
            "preview_custom_head":
            [
            ],
            "preview_sandbox": "",
            "proxy_host": "",
            "retry_timeout": 30,
            "search_namespaces": "",
            "show_red_links": false,
            "summary_fail_buf": "",
            "use_http_auth": true,
            "username": ""
        }

Output:

Just use parameters:

"username": "",
"password": ""

Other way, using browser's cookies: https://github.com/tosher/Mediawiker/issues/159
