Automate the login process of facebook login

Question

I am trying to automate the login process of facebook. Such that it directly takes the user id and password and logs in the account. I am new to selenium so can someone help me doing this? Thank you in advance.

Comments

@User, is the person supposed to enter the username password externally? i.e. user should input the username and password?

Hey @user, you can simply use findelements and the locator ID to get this done. In facebook they have a locator ID for each of the textbox and the buttons. 

Here is the code I used to do this:

import org.openqa.selenium.By;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
public class Handsonsel {
     public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException
     {
          System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver","Yourpath\\chromedriver.exe");
          WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver();
          driver.manage().window().maximize();
          driver.get("https://www.facebook.com");
          driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("yourusername@gmail.com");
          driver.findElement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys("password");
          Thread.sleep(5000);
          driver.findElement(By.id("u_0_2")).click(); 
          Thread.sleep(7000);
     }
}

Hope this helps.
