I am trying to enter username and password in yahoo login page i am able to enter the username but not able to enter password

insufficient details. Share what page of yahoo you are accessing. — Vinay Prajapati, Nov 05 '19 at 10:01
I am trying to sign in on "https://in.yahoo.com/" using the sign-in button I am able to enter a username but when the browser clicks on password through send-keys it does not proceed further. — Ajay Singh, Nov 05 '19 at 10:05
Is it not entering the password or unable to proceed. If it is unable to proceed it might be case if password is wrong. Or you are not clicking the sign -in button below the password — Sahit, Nov 05 '19 at 10:18
Add a time delay with Thread.sleep() and see if it works.. it might be a case after clicking the Next button the password page is loading slow and it is unable to find element with the id. — Sahit, Nov 05 '19 at 10:26
Are you getting an exception? Is so, please add that to you question, including the stack trace. — Greg Burghardt, Nov 06 '19 at 23:28

Please find the below solution.

Solution

    System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver.exe");
    WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
    driver.manage().window().maximize();
    //driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(12, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
    driver.get("https://in.yahoo.com/");



    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button[@name='agree']")).click();
    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//a[@id='uh-signin']")).click();

    driver.findElement(By.id("login-username")).sendKeys("Thakur_aju2008@yahoo.com");
    driver.findElement(By.id("login-signin")).click();
    Thread.sleep(5000);

    driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='login-passwd']")).sendKeys("Pranavpooja@2017");

Will it also work with other locators other than xpath – Ajay Singh Nov 05 '19 at 10:55
Is it working for you? I have not tried but should work without any issue. – Dipak Bachhav Nov 05 '19 at 11:05

To fill up the username and password fields within the Yahoo login page https://in.yahoo.com/ you need to induce WebDriverWait for the elementToBeClickable() and you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Code Block:

Using cssSelector:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
//options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));
//options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://in.yahoo.com/");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("a#uh-signin"))).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input.phone-no"))).sendKeys("Thakur_aju2008@yahoo.com");
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input#login-signin")).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.cssSelector("input#login-passwd"))).sendKeys("Pranavpooja@2017");

Using xpath:

ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("start-maximized");
//options.setExperimentalOption("excludeSwitches", Collections.singletonList("enable-automation"));
//options.setExperimentalOption("useAutomationExtension", false);
WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
driver.get("https://in.yahoo.com/");
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//a[@id='uh-signin']"))).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@class='phone-no ']"))).sendKeys("Thakur_aju2008@yahoo.com");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@id='login-signin']")).click();
new WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(ExpectedConditions.elementToBeClickable(By.xpath("//input[@id='login-passwd']"))).sendKeys("Pranavpooja@2017");
