from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.service import Service

driver_service = Service(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)

PASSWORD = 'testtes'

login_page = 'http://192.168.2.1/login.html'

driver.get(login_page)
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)

Below is the error I am getting.

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\admin\Desktop\pyhton\index.py", line 14, in driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD) AttributeError: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_xpath'

Probably you are using Selenium 4. if so, find_element_by_xpath and all the others find_element_by_* methods are not supported by Selenium 4, you have to use the new syntax and add an essential import, as following:

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

driver_service = Service(executable_path="C:\Program Files (x86)\chromedriver.exe")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=driver_service)

PASSWORD = 'testtes'

login_page = 'http://192.168.2.1/login.html'

driver.get(login_page)
driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)

  • no did not work. Instead gave some other error, added the new error to my post – prince saharan Oct 21 '22 at 19:09
  • Now, it's definitely another, new issue. I guess I know what is the problem now. Please share the HTML of that page, not only the single element, you are trying to access. As text, not as a picture and I will try help you more. Also, preferably ask a new question for that since this is a really different issue. – Prophet Oct 22 '22 at 21:14

Try this:

from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By

driver.find_element(By.XPATH, "//input[@placeholder='Password']").send_keys(PASSWORD)
