Stepwise Explanation

1. Import time module.
2. Import webdriver from selenium module
3. Using webdriver we are gonna access Firefox Browser.
4. Open twitter login page.
5. Put a pause using time.sleep(5) so browser do not identify you as robot.
6. Store your twitter mobile/phone/username in userName variable created in code.
7. Filling in username field on twitter login page. Using find_element_by_name, we are getting the field used for getting username and using send_keys, we are inputting value in it.
8. Taking a pause again so as we are not detected as robot.
9. Store your twitter password in password variable created in code.
10. Filling in password field on twitter login page. Using find_element_by_name, we are getting the field used for getting password and using send_keys, we are inputting value in it.
11. Taking a pause again so as we are not detected as robot.
12. Using find_element_by_css_selector we are getting the button present on login page. We can get css selector path by going to login page of twitter and right clicking on login button and inspecting it and then in inspector navigate to element highlighted by inspector and then right click on it and press copy path and select copy selector.

1. Run the script.
