How to send text to the Password field using Selenium and Python
Selenium with Chromedriver Python: Unable to locate element: {"method":"cs s selector","selector":"[id="password"]"}
I edited the question to says, it works well when using the chrome browser, but the same code fails in --headless mode (which is what I want to use)
I have been scratching my head over the past week with this issue: Chromedriver cannot find the presence_of_element_located((By.ID, 'password')), although it is clearly there as seen in the screenshot. It finds the username by the same By.ID and inputs it correctly, but when it gets to thew password, it fails.

And here is the log: it finds my username and puts in the correct username, but fails at the password field. I took a screenshot right after I enter my username, and you can clearly see the password field and nothing is found by chromedriver

Some problems i was facing in your some situation:
- The html of the page had been loading differently using the headless mode and it didn't find some elements. Try using it commenting headless mode.
- Try finding it in a different way, i.e. using find_element_by_xpath or class_name.
- Try using interactive console, get the full path of the password element in the browser windows loaded by selenium and execute the command `find_element_by_xpath(full_path). It should work, if not try interactivly all methods and then change accordingly in your code.
Hope to be usefull

To send a character sequence within the Password field you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element_to_be_clickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:
Using
CSS_SELECTOR:driver.get('https://slexui.cloudapps.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Quickstart') WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#userInput"))).send_keys("an144a001") driver.find_element_by_css_selector("input#login-button").click() WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "input#password"))).send_keys("Checksum321")Using
XPATH:driver.get('https://slexui.cloudapps.cisco.com/SWIFT/LicensingUI/Quickstart') WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='userInput']"))).send_keys("an144a001") driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input[@id='login-button']").click() WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//input[@id='password']"))).send_keys("Checksum321")Note : You have to add the following imports :
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as ECBrowser Snapshot:
