[FIXED] How do I log in to a site in Selenium4 with Python - if the browser itself asks for Sign in BEFORE letting me open the site

Issue

I am at my wits end.

I know how to log in with Selenium. But I do not succeed in logging in to a publish-dev-Site to test. The browser itself asks me to login before even redirecting me to the site. Because of this I cannot read an XPath, CSS, NAME/ there is no XPATH, CSS, NAME. What am I missing/ do not know?

This is the code:

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("--incognito")

driver = webdriver.Chrome(options=options)
driver.get("xyz")

sign_in_username_input = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "Username")
sign_in_password_input = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "Password")

sign_in_username_input.send_keys("ABC")
sign_in_password_input.send_keys("DEF")

sign_in_login_button = driver.find_element(By.NAME, "Sign in")
sign_in_login_button.click()

And here's a pic:

Solution

Try passing credentials in the URL, see if that works.

Syntax: https://<username>:<password>@<domain>

Check the code below:

url = "http://username:[email protected]"
driver.get(url)
