Element not found by name/id on selenium

I am using Selenium to login in Mathwork account but have this error message "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send_keys'"

Here is the source of login page of Mathwork:

name

and

enter image description here

I have tried to different lines of code below, but to no avail:

username = driver.find_element_by_xpath(".//*[@id='userId']")
username = driver.find_element_by_name('userId')
username = driver.find_element_by_id('userId')

Here is my full code: 

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.action_chains import ActionChains
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys

driver = webdriver.Chrome('C:\\Users\Dung Le\\Downloads\\Compressed\\chromedriver.exe')

driver.get('https://www.mathworks.com/login?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mathworks.com%2Fhelp%2Findex.html%3Fs_tid%3DCRUX_lftnav')
driver.implicitly_wait(60)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('userId')
username.send_keys('my_email')

password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
time.sleep(2)
password.send_keys('my_password')

I received this error:

"C:\Program Files\Python37\python.exe" "C:/Users/Dung Le/PycharmProjects/untitled7/dsd.py" Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Dung Le/PycharmProjects/untitled7/dsd.py", line 11, in username.send_keys('leanh***@gmail.com') AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'send_keys'

Process finished with exit code 1

and this output:

enter image description here

I expect to resolve this error and has my login information in the input space of the login page.

Thank you for your help!

You should always check if the element is in the main content or in a frame, if the element is in a frame, you have to switch to that frame first:

frame = driver.find_element_by_id('me')
driver.switch_to.frame(frame)
driver.find_element_by_id('userId').send_keys('blablabla')

after you are done with the frame, switch back to the default content

driver.switch_to.default_content()
