Is it possible to fix this?

Answer 1

You should use an explicit wait. Have a look at the docs here .

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 10);
WebElement element = wait.until(
           ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.id("Passwd")));
driver.findElement(By.id("Passwd")).sendKeys("xyz");
