Anyone else seeing this? Selenuim can't seem to find the login button. Started a couple days ago.

Full error:

If you remove all lines from scraper.py that reference the email or password, then it works. Then in the command line remove the calls to your email and password, but leave everything else. However, if you are like me, you then might run into an entirely different problem like this:
