Fill username and password using selenium in python

Use WebElement.send_keys method to simulate key typing.

name in the code (Username, Password) does not match actual name of the elements (username, password).

username = browser.find_element_by_name('username')
username.send_keys('user1')

password = browser.find_element_by_name('password')
password.send_keys('secret')

form = browser.find_element_by_id('loginForm')
form.submit()

# OR  browser.find_element_by_id('submit').click()

user = driver.find_element_by_name("username")
password = driver.find_element_by_name("password")
user.clear()
user.send_keys("your_user_name")
password.clear()
password.send_keys("your_password")
driver.find_element_by_name("submit").click()

Note:

• we useuser.clear() in order to clear the input field.
• for locating submit button you can use any other method based on the page source code. for info see locating elements

In some cases when the element is not interactable, sendKeys() doesn’t work and you’re likely to encounter an ElementNotInteractableException.

In such cases, you can opt to execute javascript that sets the values and then can post back.

Example:

url = 'https://www.your_url.com/'

driver = Chrome(executable_path="./chromedriver")
driver.get(url)

username = 'your_username'
password = 'your_password'

#Setting the value of email input field
driver.execute_script(f'var element = document.getElementById("email"); element.value = "{username}";')

#Setting the value of password input field
driver.execute_script(f'var element = document.getElementById("password"); element.value = "{password}";')

#Submitting the form or click the login button also
driver.execute_script(f'document.getElementsByClassName("login_form")[0].submit();')

print(driver.page_source)

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait

# If you want to open Chrome
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
# If you want to open Firefox
driver = webdriver.Firefox()

username = driver.find_element_by_id("username")
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")
username.send_keys("YourUsername")
password.send_keys("YourPassword")
driver.find_element_by_id("submit_btn").click()

I am new to selenium and I tried all solutions above but they don’t work.
Finally, I tried this manually by

driver = webdriver.Firefox()
import time

driver.get(url)

time.sleep(20)

print (driver.page_source.encode("utf-8"))

Then I could get contents from web.

Here is the complete answer.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

chrome_driver_path = 'C:\chromedriver.exe'
browser = webdriver.Chrome(service=Service(chrome_driver_path))
browser.get('http://www.example.com')

username = browser.find_element(By.NAME, 'Username')
password = browser.find_element(By.NAME, 'Password')

username.send_keys("yourUsername") #type your own username here
password.send_keys("yourPassword") #type your own password here

browser.find_element(By.NAME, 'submit').click()

Since find_element_by_name() is deprecated, you can use find_element(By.NAME, 'name').

Also you have to import from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
