I followed the steps in the post I linked and it worked. Here's the Python code:

import requests
from requests.auth import HTTPBasicAuth

data = {
    'grant_type': 'password',
    'username': '{your username}',
    'password': '{your password}'
}

r = requests.post("https://ssl.reddit.com/api/v1/access_token",
                  data=data,
                  auth=HTTPBasicAuth('{your apps client id}', '{your apps secret key}'))

print(r.text)

USERNAME must be registered as a developer of the OAuth 2 client ID you send.

and obviously the app needs to have been created.

Okay then go to your reddit settings, create an app for personal use, and follow the steps I described. – Tobi208 Feb 10 '22 at 17:40
