Auto login account to web using Selenium and Python.

Hello, everybody. This is my first post. In this article, I'll demonstrate how to use Python and the Selenium library to open a browser and login to an account.
First, we'll need the following:
  1. Run pip install selenium to install the Selenium library.
  2. Install IEDriverServer.exe, it is a program that allows you to connect to the Internet Explorer driver server. In this case, I'm using Internet Explorer, so I install it here.
  3. Install Java Runtime Environment, make sure to choose the correct version for your computer.
● This is the login interface:



● SECUREMATRIX is a unique and highly secure. Each time you log in, the number is changed, so the password will change also. Therefore, I make this tool to login automatically regardless of changed number.
● For example, my password will be 42199803 as shown below.


● We will press F12 to find elements of these numbers. The first number is "4" (attribute "alt"="4") so it will be "SMX_BTN_0".


● We have a maxtrix table ID as blelow:


● Likewise, the IDs of the numbers in my password would be "SMX_BTN_0", "SMX_BTN_4", "SMX_BTN_8", "SMX_BTN_12", "SMX_BTN_13", "SMX_BTN_14", "SMX_BTN_15", "SMX_BTN_28".

Steps to do:

● We need install Selenium library first.

#Library
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from time import sleep

● Then, we will modify the code to apply for our account. We will edit user name, the path of IE driver and the link of website (line 2, 5 and 8).

#User name
userName='a512xxxx'

#Path of IE Driver
driver = webdriver.Ie("D:\Downloads\IEDriverServer.exe")

#Link login
driver.get("https://b2b-gateway.(hidden_name).com/login/ssl")
driver.implicitly_wait(15)

● We will find the elements of website. As the following img, the box is used to fill the user name would be "LOGIN_ID". Then we will send the value of user name to it and find the button "Login" (class name is "btnCustom") and click it.

#Find element and send data
driver.find_element(By.NAME,'LOGIN_ID').send_keys(userName)
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME,'btnCustom').click()

● Next, I will use the ID password I have found in above steps and put it in a for loop. Same as above, we will find the box to fill password and click the button.

#Initialize password and fill password
password=""
arr = ["SMX_BTN_0", "SMX_BTN_4", "SMX_BTN_8", "SMX_BTN_12", "SMX_BTN_13", "SMX_BTN_14", "SMX_BTN_15", "SMX_BTN_28"]
for i in arr:
    passTemp = driver.find_element(By.ID,i).get_attribute("alt")
    password += passTemp

driver.find_element_by_name("PASSWORD").send_keys(password)
button = driver.find_element_by_class_name("btnCustom").click()
print("Waiting...")

● Finally, I use "try-except" to check if there are any errors and inform to user via console output.

#Check if there are any errors
try:
    element = WebDriverWait(driver, 100).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.ID, "table_welcome_2")))    
except:
    print("Could not connect to B2b. Please try again")
finally:
    print("Welcome to the Secure Access SSL VPN, " + driver.find_element_by_class_name("cssSmall").text)
    print("Quit IE.")
    driver.quit()

Here is full of source code.
