md-input-container class="md-default-theme md-input-invalid">
label for="input_4">Email</label>
input name="emailField" type="email" ng-model="email" ng-change="resetValidity()" auto-focus="" validate-email="" required="" class="ng-pristine md-input ng-valid-email ng-invalid ng-invalid-required ng-touched" id="input_4" tabindex="0" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="true" style="">
!-- ngIf: forgot_password.emailField.$invalid && forgot_password.$submitted -->
/md-input-container>

the ID everytime i open a session get a different number. i try this:

WebElement emailField = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("input[name='emailField']"));
emailField.click();
emailField.sendKeys("aa@aa");

can you try this WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, 60); wait.until(ExpectedConditions.visibilityOfElementLocated(By.xpath("//input[@name='emailField']"))); driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='emailField']")).sendKeys("[email protected]"); and let me know any issue — NarendraR

Use Implicit wait in your code to give sufficient time to locate the element before it through exception

driver = new ChromeDriver();    
driver.manage().window().maximize();
driver.get("https://ocloud.optitex.com/#/login/");
driver.manage().timeouts().implicitlyWait(20, TimeUnit.SECONDS);
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button/span[contains(.,'Forgot Password?')]")).click();
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[@name='emailField']")).sendKeys("[email protected]");
driver.findElement(By.xpath("//button/span[contains(.,'Reset Password')]")).click();

Use xpath;

WebElement emailField = driver.findElement(By.xPath("//input[@name='emailField']"));
emailField.click();
emailField.sendKeys("aa@aa");

Okay, can you try this xpath? "//md-input-container/input"

N.P Over a year ago

got this now: unknown error: Element <input type="email" ng-model="cf.email" auto-focus="" required="" class="ng-pristine md-input ng-valid-email ng-invalid ng-invalid-required ng-touched" id="input_0" tabindex="0" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="true" style=""> is not clickable at point (978, 435). Other element would receive the click: <md-input-container class="md-default-theme md-input-focused">...</md-input-container>
