WebBrowser textbox value not being set c# Console Application

Question

I am currently using a WebBrowser function in a c# application to automate a login and get information. The problem is when I set a textbox's value by ID, it does not work, it remains as it was (I checked by getting the console to write its value). Here is my code

br.Document.GetElementById("username").SetAttribute("Value", username);
br.Document.GetElementById("password").SetAttribute("Value", password);

br.Document.GetElementById("LoginBtn").InvokeMember("click");

//authcode
Thread.Sleep(5000);

Console.WriteLine(br.Document.GetElementById("username").InnerText) // This does not retrieve the data.

Any and all help is appreciated.

You are setting the Value attribute, then checking the InnerText of the tag. Assuming "username" is an input field, it won't have any inner text. You need to check the value of the Value attribute.

Console.WriteLine(br.Document.GetElementById("username").GetAttribute("Value");
