Selenium Google Login Block

Question

I have a problem with Google login. I want to login to my account but Google says that automation drivers are not allowed to log in.

I am looking for a solution. Is it possible to get a cookie of normal Firefox/Chrome and load it into the ChromeDriver/GeckoDriver? I thought that this can be a solution. But I am not sure is it possible or not..

Looking for solutions...

Also, I want to add a quick solution for this. I solved this issue by using one of my old verified account. That can be a quick solution for you also.

Answer 1

I had the same problem and found the solution for it. I am using

1) Windows 10 Pro

2) Chrome Version 83.0.4103.97 (Official Build) (64-bit)

3) selenium ChromeDriver 83.0.4103.39

Some simple C# code which open google pages

var options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments(@"user-data-dir=c:\Users\{username}\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\");
IWebDriver driver = new OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome.ChromeDriver();
driver = new ChromeDriver(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory(), options);
driver.Url = "https://accounts.google.com/";
Console.ReadKey();

The core problem here you cant login when you use selenium driver, but you can use the profile which already logged to the google accounts.

You have to find where your Chrome store profile is and append it with "user-data-dir" option.

PS. Replace {username} with your real account name.

On linux the user profile is in "~/.config/google-chrome".
