> [@robocorp19](#): > > Here is the image. Ok that looks like a chrome generated dialogue. The easiest way to deal with a dialogue like this is to just put the username and password in the url. If your url is `https://your.host.name/path` it becomes `https://username:password@your.host.name/path`, then the dialogue shouldn’t appear and you should get logged in.

@Meha_Atchaya_A You’d in honesty always be best creating a separate post given this here is about a pop up, whereas you’re query is surrounding shadow elements, so you query is hidden as it’s not related to the op, for which your limiting any help/responses you could get. You’d also be worth providing the library being used, I suspect you won’t be using browser but instead seleniumlibrary if your having problems, but purely an assumption. ---

Good morning community, maybe you can help me, I am a newbie in this world of robocor, I am trying to automate a login process through a Fortinet VPN client from the desktop of a Windows system and I cannot automate the entry of the password, I have used tools like (Accessibility Insights) to detect the ID and fields. ![vpn](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/robotframework1/original/2X/c/cd1e3875c2674ff68c8df0d616bdf8133abd6308.png) ---

Hi Francisco, Welcome to the community, This topic was marked as solved and your problem is with a desktop app not web app like the original issue, you would be better off posting a new question Also have you tried and libraries? which ones? mention that when you create a new thread. Dave.
