Normally Google Accounts are not allowed to be logged in when using an automated browser, and this bot is no exception.
The procedure described in **Using your account** is used to bypass this protection mechanism < br >
## Using your account
This login procedure is needed in order to bypass Google not allowing automated browsers to log in into accounts.< br > < br >
**Preparation:**< br >
1. First of all install Mozilla FireFox from < https: // www . mozilla . org / en-US / firefox / download / thanks /> .< br >
2. Download and install the Geckdriver for your OS from Mozilla's GitHub repo < https: // github . com / mozilla / geckodriver / releases > .< br >
3. If you're using Linux, your package manager may have a package for that, so check that.< br >
4. Replace **FIREFOX_DVD_DIR** in **utils.py** with the path to the GeckoDriver executable you just installed.< br >
**Log in into your Google Account:**< br >
1. Open FireFox and go to *about:profiles* < br >
2. Click *Create a New Profile>Next* name it whatever you want then click *Finish* < br >
3. Search for the profile you just created in the list below, copy the *Root Directory* and paste it into **FIREFOX_PROFILE** into **utils.py** < br >
4. Now FireFox will have made the profile you just created the default one, so set the default profile back to what it was before< br >
5. Go the the profile you just created and click *Launch profile in new browser* . This will open a new FireFox window using your profile.< br >
6. In the new FireFox window just appeared, head over to gmail.com and log in into your Google account.< br >
7. Once logged in, the profile is ready to be used in this bot< br >
