[01:57:53] <AntiComposite>	 Apparently today was a good day to read through 25 pages of https://bash.toolforge.org. That is all.
[16:09:17] <Cohaf>	 https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Personal_note
[16:09:39] <Cohaf>	 Any idea if such a situation is true, like 10 password resets and your account is locked?
[16:11:59] <AntiComposite>	 heck no
[16:12:12] <Cohaf>	 seems trollish?
[16:12:29] <Cohaf>	 their 1st message I can believe, the 2nd one seems bogus 
[16:12:54] <AntiComposite>	 it sounds like they were incapable of setting a password that passed our (admittedly low) bar for password complexity
[16:13:07] <Cohaf>	 what is our bar to be honest?
[16:13:35] <AntiComposite>	 https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:PasswordPolicies
[16:14:06] <AntiComposite>	 > 8 characters, can't be username or in the top 100,000 most commonly used passwords
[16:14:29] <Cohaf>	 since they claim to be sysop, so it's 10
[16:14:45] <Cohaf>	 let me ask them how many characters they inputed, thanks for your help
[16:15:19] <CptViraj>	 Woah Special:PasswordPolicies! Seeing this first time...
[16:15:44] <Cohaf>	 heard about it, but didn't see the page before
[16:15:46] <AntiComposite>	 it's an improvement over the previous password requirements, which were "has a password"
[16:16:12] <Cohaf>	 but then the question is: if they enter wrong / insufficent password for 10 times, account block?
[16:16:17] <Cohaf>	 is this true?
[16:16:58] <AntiComposite>	 at login, persistantly trying a wrong password may get your IP blocked
[16:17:16] <Cohaf>	 ah, I see. At least this seems okay.
[16:17:19] <AntiComposite>	 but no, there's no account lockouts or anything like that
[16:17:20] <Cohaf>	 thanks again :)
[16:17:39] <AntiComposite>	 I'd suggest asking them to email ca@wikimedia.org if they continue to have login trouble
[16:18:06] <Cohaf>	 Operator873 did already
[16:21:09] <Cohaf>	 odd case, I am thinking someone (an LTA) is coming up with a story but it can be legit too
[20:44:31] <blockchain>	 Does Wikipedia still have app passwords, for those use cases that don't use OAuth?
[20:48:22] <AntiComposite>	 yes
[20:48:42] <AntiComposite>	 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Bot_passwords
[20:49:32] <AntiComposite>	 everything says "bot passwords", but it will work for any API client. Bot passwords will only work on the API though, not normal login.
[20:53:45] <blockchain>	 Bot passwords. That’s what they’re called. That’s why my googling wasn’t working
[20:53:49] <blockchain>	 Thanks!
