A quick fix needed: Use action=query&amp;meta=tokens&amp;type=login instead.

I got a similar error trying to log in to use AWB on Wikimedia Commons. I do not get the error when logging in to use it on English or Simple English Wikipedias.

If I update to the newest version, will my saved settings still be intact or will I have to start over?

Not sure if tasks with tokens should be protected as a security isue? @Aklapper, @Krenair: thoughts?

Peachey88 added a comment.Mar 6 2016, 9:13 AM

The oAuth tokens can be revoked.

Krenair set Security to Software security bug.Mar 6 2016, 1:03 PM
Krenair added a project: acl*security.
Krenair changed the visibility from "Public (No Login Required)" to "Custom Policy".

No idea whether that session or token are valid or not, and no idea how to check. Being cautious and hiding this until someone who does know can check. Please don't ask me and Andre about such things - Chris, Brad and Gergo would know. It's probably a bad idea to post such comments on currently-public tasks.

Anomie subscribed.Mar 7 2016, 2:49 PM

Chances are it was valid for about an hour after the bug was posted, then it would have expired unless someone continued to use it. That session ID does not appear to currently exist at any rate.
