# Create a Selenium template for password change

Shared accounts on web portals without a password-change API rarely have their password rotated, because no native automation exists for it. This includes third-party tools, legacy systems, and vendor portals. A Selenium template solves this by simulating in the browser the same interaction a person would perform manually.

## Requirements

- Administrator access in Segura® Platform.
- A Selenium script (Python, `pytest` format) validated for the target site.
- The account used on the target site must not have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

## Steps

1. Prepare the script by replacing your application's web address and the IDs of the username, password, and button fields.

```
# Change to your web application's login address.
driver.get("https://portal.example.com/login")

driver.find_element(By.ID, "user").send_keys([#USERNAME#])
driver.find_element(By.ID, "password").send_keys([#CURRENT_PASSWORD#])
driver.find_element(By.ID, "login-button").click()

# Change to your web application's password change address.
driver.get("https://portal.example.com/password-change")
driver.find_element(By.ID, "current-password").send_keys([#CURRENT_PASSWORD#])
driver.find_element(By.ID, "new-password").send_keys([#NEW_PASSWORD#])
driver.find_element(By.ID, "confirm-password").send_keys([#NEW_PASSWORD#])
driver.find_element(By.ID, "save-password-button").click()

# Waits for validation of an element to verify that the change was successful
driver.find_element(By.CLASS_NAME, "password-change-success")
```

1. In Segura® Platform, go to **Executions > Template control > Templates**.
2. Click **+ Add**.
3. In **Name ***, enter an identifier for the template. For example: Password change - Vendor portal.
4. In **Executor ***, select **Selenium**.
5. In **Execution type ***, select **Change password**.
6. In **Content**, paste the script prepared in step 1.
7. Click **Save**.

Info

If the template approval flow is active, an approver must validate the template before it becomes available for use. Track the status in **My requests**.

## Expected result

The template appears in the **Templates** list with the **Selenium** executor, ready to be used in a password-change execution.
