Fill Username and Password Using Selenium in Python

We can fill username and password fields in a login page with Selenium. This is considered an authentication step for any application. Once the username and password is entered, we have to click the login button.

Example

Code Implementation.

import time
from selenium import webdriver
driver = webdriver.Chrome (executable_path="C:\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get("https://mail.rediff.com/cgi-bin/login.cgi")
# identify username, password and signin elements
driver.find_element_by_name("login").send_keys("tutorialspoint")
time.sleep(0.2)
driver.find_element_by_name("passwd").send_keys("pass123")
time.sleep(0.4)
driver.find_element_by_class_name("signinbtn").click()
driver.close

If a valid username and password is provided, we shall be directed to the home page of the application.
