Answer 1

The reason you get this error is because GMAIL identifies the bot(your script) and blocks you from logging in.

To overcome this issue, you can use a python library known as undetected-chromdriver. This library has been developed for the same purpose. You just have to install this library and import it in your code as use it as below:

import undetected_chromedriver as uc # driver = webdriver.Chrome() driver = uc.Chrome() 

For more info about undetected-chromedriver refer the below:

Answer 2

Gmail blocked you because their site detected a selenium bot.

You can bypass bot-detection by using SeleniumBase in uc mode.

First pip install seleniumbase. Then run the following script with python:

from seleniumbase import SB with SB(uc=True) as sb: sb.open("https://www.google.com/gmail/about/") sb.click('a[data-action="sign in"]') sb.type('input[type="email"]', "[email protected]") sb.click('button:contains("Next")') sb.sleep(5) # sb.type('input[type="password"]', PASSWORD) # sb.click('button:contains("Next")') 

(To access the raw driver from the script, use sb.driver)
