Bright Data scraping browser: "Forbidden action: password typing is not allowed"

Question

Using the Bright Data scraping browser via the Playwright Python library I wrote the following code snippet:

await page.goto('https://example.com/login/')
await page.fill('input[name="username"]', username)
await page.fill('input[name="password"]', password)
await page.click('button[type="submit"]')

The username fills as expected, but on the password line, the scraping browser halts with the following error: Error: Forbidden action: password typing is not allowed

I have tried other methods of entering data into the input but it seems like the scraping browser have disabled entering any kind of data into password type input fields.

How can I work around this?

I have the exact same issue. I'm trying to login into Brightspace using the Brightdata scraping browser. Though Im using pupetter. The exact URL is hetrynow.brightspace.com/d2l/login – Mesotron

I've just ran into this issue as well, Is there a way to disable or work around this? – Kieserite

@Hugo No i haven't really found an answer other than just not using Bright Data. – Mesotron

Answer 1

Brightdata has blocked password typing on their end for security purposes and you would have to take permission from them for the same. You could approach them by opening a ticket and stating the purpose.

Answer 2

You need to raise a ticket, then they will ask you to fill in their KYC.

After that, you are waiting for their approval. Once it gets approved, you will be able to type password.
