How to Enter Username and Password in Selenium Webdriver Java

Selenium is an open-source web-based automation tool that is implemented using a web driver. We will be using geckodriver because Selenium 3 enables geckodriver as the default WebDriver implementation for Firefox.

Pre-requisites:

1. geckodriver.exe
2. maven dependency selenium

 <dependency>
    <groupid>org.seleniumhq.selenium</groupid>
	<artifactid>selenium-java</artifactid>  
	<version>4.1.1</version> 
 </dependency>

Steps:

It's a 4 steps process:

1. Set webdriver.gecko.driver and its' path as a system property.
2. Set the firefox diver and browse to the website link.
3. Get username and password web element; input using webdriver.findElement() function and css selector.
4. Send the values as keys.

Let’s see all the above steps in the code. We will use webelement.sendKeys(CharSequence....KeystoSend) function to enter username and password.

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebElement;
import org.openqa.selenium.firefox.FirefoxDriver;
import java.util.List;

public class EnterUsernamePassword {

    public static String GECKODRIVER_PATH = "F:\\WORK\\SeleniumShortTasks\\UsernamePassword\\src\\main\\resources\\geckodriver.exe";

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //set firefox webdriver
        System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", GECKODRIVER_PATH);
        WebDriver driver = new FirefoxDriver();

        //get the firefox browser & Browse the Website , a login form
        String siteLink = "https://portal.alnafi.com/users/sign_in";
        driver.get(siteLink);

        String login_user = "yourUsername";
        String login_key = "yourPassword";

        //Get username  input-element
        WebElement username = driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("input.form__control")).get(0);
        username.sendKeys(login_user);
        username.submit();

        //get password input-element
        WebElement password =  driver.findElements(By.cssSelector("input.form__control")).get(1);
        password.sendKeys(login_key);

        //get sign-in button
       WebElement signIn = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input.button.button-primary.g-recaptcha"));
        //click
        signIn.click();

    }
}
