Trying to log into website with selenium throws either TimeoutException or ElementNotInteractableException

I am having issues logging into the website (memodo.de/login) since the login form is not interactable. With my code, I get either a timeout exception or a ElementNotinteractable Exception.
Please see here the html code for the website as well as my current code. I would appreciate if someone could help me with the issue.
I already tried using the execute_script command, without any luck.
Thank you!

HTML Code for the site

The xpaths you are trying are highlighting many Elements in the DOM. The email and password are highlighting 2 Elements each and the submit button is highlighting 5 Elements in the DOM.
The locators we use to find the Elements should be unique that is 1/1 which is visible next to the xpath in the DOM. Link to Refer Go through the How do I write good locators for more clarity.
You can try like below.
driver.get("https://www.memodo.de/login")
wait = WebDriverWait(driver,30)
email = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//div[#class='register--login-email']/input")))
email.send_keys("Email#email.com")
password = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//div[#class='register--login-password']/input")))
password.send_keys("password")
submit = wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH,"//form[#id='login--form']//button")))
submit.click()
You can use these xpaths too.
(//input[#id='email'])[2] # For Email Field
(//input[#id='passwort'])[2] # For password Field
//form[#id='login--form']//button # For submit button

unable to select an element using xpath using selenium

I'm trying to automate a process using selenium and have been able to open a webpage and click on links, however I stumbled upon a table in which a link needs to be clicked but I'm unable to select that link and getting an error. need help to select that particular element
right now this is what I've done
elem2=browser.find_elements_by_xpath('/html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text')
elem2.click()
you can see in the picture that I'm trying to access the findhtml.org link.
the error that I get is
InvalidSelectorException: Message: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression /html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text because of the following error:
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '/html/body/div[3]/table/tbody/tr[1]/td[2]/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[7]/td[3]/a::text' is not a valid XPath expression.
(Session info: chrome=81.0.4044.113)

First you have to switch to the iframe
Example:
frame = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//iframe[contains(#src, \'hbx.media.net\')]')
browser.switch_to.frame(frame)
Now you can click
link = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//a[contains(#href, \'http://www.findhtml.org\')]')
link.click()

To click on the specific link try below code.
Induce WebDriverWait() and presence_of_element_located() and following xpath.
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get("https://publicrecords.netronline.com/state/IL/county/dupage")
element=WebDriverWait(driver,10).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH,"//a[#href='http://www.dupageco.org/PropertyInfo/PropertyLookUp.aspx' and contains(.,'Go to Data')]")))
element.location_once_scrolled_into_view
element.click()
Please note the element is not inside any iframe

browser.get('https://publicrecords.netronline.com/state/IL/county/dupage')
wait = WebDriverWait(browser, 20)
wait.until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//td[contains(text(),'DuPage Supervisor of Assessments')]//following-sibling::td[2]//a"))).click()
output:
Note : please add below imports to your solution

Python Selenium element is not visible [duplicate]

I am trying to enter username and password in the following website:
https://www.thegreatcoursesplus.com/sign-in
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//h1[#class="sign-in-input"]').click()
This gave following exception:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not visible
Then I tried to use java script:
driver.execute_script("document.getElementsByClassName('sign-in-input')[0].click()")
cmd = "document.getElementsByClassName('label-focus')[0].value = 'abc#abc.com'"
driver.execute_script(cmd)
There are no errors but no text is sent to "Email Address" field.
Can someone please guide me on the correct way to enter email address, password and then click "Sign-in".

This error message...
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotVisibleException: Message: element not visible
...implies that the desired element was not visible within the HTML DOM while the WebDriver instance was trying to find it.
ElementNotVisibleException
ElementNotVisibleException is thrown when an element is present on the DOM Tree, but it is not visible, and so is not able to be interacted with.
Reason
One possitive take away from ElementNotVisibleException is the fact that the WebElement is present within the HTML and this exception is commonly encountered when trying to click() or read an attribute of an element that is hidden from view.
Solution
As ElementNotVisibleException ensures that the WebElement is present within the HTML so the solution ahead would be two folds as per the next steps as detailed below:
If you next step is to read any attribute of the desired element, then you need to induce WebDriverWait in-conjunction with expected_conditions clause set to visibility_of_element_located as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
my_value = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "element_xpath"))).get_attribute("innerHTML")
If you next step is to invoke click() on the desired element, then you need to induce WebDriverWait in-conjunction with expected_conditions clause set to element_to_be_clickable as follows:
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "element_xpath"))).click()
This usecase
The xpath you constructed as //h1[#class="sign-in-input"] doesn't match any node. We need to create unique xpath to locate the elements representing Email Address, Password and Sign In button inducing WebDriverWait. The below code block will help you to achieve the same:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
options = Options()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("disable-infobars")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path="C:\\Utility\\BrowserDrivers\\chromedriver.exe")
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#id='modal']//input[#name='email']"))).send_keys("abc#abc.com")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='modal']//input[#name='password']").send_keys("password")
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[#id='modal']//button[#class='color-site sign-in-button']").click()

for username use :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='email')").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='email')").send_keys( "username" )
for password use :
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='password')").click()
driver.find_element_by_xpath("//input(#type='password')").send_keys( "password" )

There are two problems:
The first one is timing, it takes some time for the form to appear. You you can use explicit wait to solve it.
The second one is that the field id in <input> tag, not <h1> tag, and there are many fields that matches this xpath. I suggest you locate the form holding the fields and use it to locate each field
For the timing issue you can use explicit wait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
driver = webdriver.Chrome()
driver.get('https://www.TheGreatCoursesPlus.com/sign-in')
form = WebDriverWait(driver, 10).until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.XPATH, '//div[#class="modal-body"]//form')))
form.find_element_by_name('email').send_keys(email)
form.find_element_by_name('password').send_keys(password)
form.find_element_by_name('sign-in-button').click()

selenium using python: how to correctly click() an element?

while learning how to use selenium, Im trying to click an element but nothing happens and Im unable to reach the next page. this is the relevant page: http://buyme.co.il and Im trying to click: הרשמה
I managed to print the desired element (הרשמה) so I guess Im reaching the correct place in the page. but 'click()' doesnt work.
the second span <span>הרשמה</span> is what i want to click:
<li data-ember-action="636">
<a>
<span class="seperator-link">כניסה</span>
<span>הרשמה</span>
</a>
</li>
for elem in driver.find_elements_by_xpath('//* [#id="ember591"]/div/ul[1]/li[3]/a/span[2]'):
print (elem.text)
elem.click()
also tried this:
driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[#id="ember591"]/div/ul[1]/li[3]/a').click()
I expected to get to the "lightbox" which contain the registration fields.
Any thoughts on the best way to accomplish this?

Explicit Waits - An explicit wait is a code you define to wait for a certain condition to occur before proceeding further in the code.
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
browser = webdriver.Chrome()
browser.get("https://buyme.co.il/")
WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.ID, 'ember591')))
elm = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//div[#id="ember591"]/div/ul[1]/li[3]/a')
elm[0].click()
Update:
WebDriverWait(browser, 10).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.CLASS_NAME, 'login')))
email = browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//form[#id='ember1005']/div[1]/label/input")
email[0].send_keys("abc#gmail.com")
password = browser.find_elements_by_xpath("//form[#id='ember1005']/div[2]/label/input")
password[0].send_keys("test1234567")
login = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//form[#id="ember1005"]/button')
login[0].click()

The desired element is an Ember.js enabled element so to locate the element you have to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use the following Locator Strategy:
Using XPATH:
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//span[text()='הרשמה']"))).click()
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 EC

ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable error while sending text to Email field on Quora using Selenium with Python

Here is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
user = "someemail#email.com"
browser = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/browser/")
browser.get("https://www.quora.com/")
username = browser.find_element_by_name("email")
browser.implicitly_wait(10)
username.send_keys(user)
Here is the error message:
selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable
I think there is another thread with a similar issue. Either the solutions in that thread didn't work for me or I don't know how to implement the solutions.

find_element_by_name("email")
is present multiple times in DOM. So that wouldn't work.
You can try with this css selector :
input[class*='header_login_text_box'][name='email']
Code :
username = browser.find_element_by_css_selector("input[class*='header_login_text_box'][name='email']")
username.send_keys("user#gmail.com")

To send a character sequence to the Email field within Login section of Quora you need to induce WebDriverWait for the element to be clickable and you can use the following solution:
Code Block:
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
options = webdriver.ChromeOptions()
options.add_argument("start-maximized")
options.add_argument("--disable-extensions")
# options.add_argument('disable-infobars')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(chrome_options=options, executable_path=r'C:\Utility\BrowserDrivers\chromedriver.exe')
driver.get("https://www.quora.com/")
WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, "//div[#class='title login_title' and text()='Login']//following::div[1]//input[#class='text header_login_text_box ignore_interaction']"))).send_keys("someemail#email.com")
Browser Snapshot:

As said in comment, the locator used returning two elements and required element is second one. driver trying to interact with first element, so exception is throwing.
good see in console, the locator returning required one or not.
> $$("[name='email']") (2) [input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz12_email.text, input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz18_email.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction]
> 0: input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz12_email.text 1:
> input#__w2_wD9e9Qgz18_email.text.header_login_text_box.ignore_interaction
> length: 2
> __proto__: Array(0)
go for another locator, if not able to figure it out another locator, then comment, will help you.

from selenium import webdriver
user = "someemail#email.com"
browser = webdriver.Chrome("/path/to/browser/")
browser.get("https://www.quora.com/")
username = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//input[#class='text header_login_text_box ignore_interaction' and #type='text']")
browser.implicitly_wait(10)
username.send_keys(user)
Here You can find Why ElementNotInteractableException occurs.

If you are using the Select aproach like:
from selenium.webdriver.support.select import Select
try this
Select(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.element_to_be_clickable((By.XPATH, '''//*[#id="ReportViewer1_ctl04_ctl07_ddValue"]''')))).select_by_visible_text(str(x))
