Python - How to use user input for login information prompt-CodePudding

I am kinda new to Python and tried to make a script that automatically logs you in on Instagram. However I was not happy with the solution to only put it in your code, I want to ask for the credentials when running the script, then use it on the Instagram login page. This is the code I got so far:

from time import sleep
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from  random import randint


username = input("Enter your username: ")
password = input("Enter your password: ")


driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/')

sleep (2)
driver.execute_script("""
   var l = document.getElementsByClassName("pbNvD    FrS-d sjcY5    gD9tr")[0];
   l.parentNode.removeChild(l);
""")

driver.execute_script("""
   var l = document.getElementsByClassName("RnEpo  Yx5HN      _4Yzd2")[0];
   l.parentNode.removeChild(l);
""")


sleep (1)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
username.send_keys('username')
password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
password.send_keys('password')


button_login = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#loginForm > div > div:nth-child(3) > button')
button_login.click()
sleep(randint(3,5))

notnow = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#react-root > section > main > div > div > div > div > button')
notnow.click()
sleep(randint(3,5))
notificationnotnow = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div/div/div[3]/button[2]')
notificationnotnow.click()

Thanks in advance!

Why do you pass a string ("username" and "password") name instead of (username and password)

from time import sleep
from selenium import webdriver
from webdriver_manager.chrome import ChromeDriverManager
from  random import randint


username = input("Enter your username: ")
password = input("Enter your password: ")


driver = webdriver.Chrome(ChromeDriverManager().install())
driver.get('https://www.instagram.com/')


sleep (5)
username_input = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
username_input.send_keys(username)
password_input = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
password_input.send_keys(password)


button_login = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#loginForm > div > div:nth-child(3) > button')
button_login.click()
sleep(randint(3,5))

notnow = driver.find_element_by_css_selector('#react-root > section > main > div > div > div > div > button')
notnow.click()
sleep(randint(3,5))
notificationnotnow = driver.find_element_by_xpath('/html/body/div[4]/div/div/div/div[3]/button[2]')
notificationnotnow.click()

The problem is right here

sleep (1)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
username.send_keys('username')
password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
password.send_keys('password')

You are passing the words 'username' and 'password' instead of passing the variables username, password. When you put them inside quotes they become string.

You should try the following:

sleep (1)
username = driver.find_element_by_name('username')
username.send_keys(username)
password = driver.find_element_by_name('password')
password.send_keys(password)
