The General Console Login feature requires seven fields of identification information, which the system uses to automatically locate the account field, password field, and login button on the target website and fill in the credentials. The following explains how to obtain this information using your browser's Developer Tools. When searching for elements, prioritize name or a stable id as the search field and value. Avoid using class (which may change with site updates) or dynamically generated id values (such as :r2:, which change on every page load).
Steps
- Navigate to the login page of the target website.

In Developer Tools, open the Elements tab and locate the account input field's attributes. For example:

In the Elements tab, locate the password input field's attributes. For example:
<input name="password">Field Description Value to Enter Password Search Field Attribute name namePassword Search Value Attribute value passwordLogin Button
Locate the login button using the same method. Since the login button structure varies by website, verify the element type and attributes on the target site before entering the values. Two common cases are provided below for reference.
