                <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="labelContainer">

                <div class="form-group">
                    <div class="labelContainer">
                        <<p>Confirm New Password<span>*</span></p>
                    </div>
                    <label for="confirmPassword" class="sr-only">Confirm New Password</label>
                    <input type="password" id="confirmPassowrd" name="confirmPassowrd" class="form-control" placeholder="Confirm Password" required="">
                    <i class="fa fa-lock icon-style" aria-hidden="true"></i>
                </div>

Above is the html code, I would like to insert the current password into current password text field. I have tried two methods below and it is not workable it says element not visible.

(code 1 )driver.FindElement(By.Id("currentPassword")).SendKeys("testabc");
(code 2 )IJavaScriptExecutor jse = (IJavaScriptExecutor)driver;
jse.ExecuteScript("document.getElementById('currentPassword').value='testabc';");

Try to test for newPassword textfield instead of currentPassword textfield and it is working fine. only the currentPassword and confirmPassword textfield have error message element not visible.

Does anyone know what is the problem?

Sometimes you have to "click" into the element first. So try using the "Click()" method on the element directly before the send keys call. Also it sometimes has to be an outer element that you click on so I'd recommend experimenting with that if it doesn't work with the input element for the click event. — CodingKuma

@CodingKuma tried with click() it still saying element not visible — Kevin

Sounds like there is collapsible forms that you need to expand. — Ywapom

Any chance this is in some type of form or something else that you need to switch to first? — so cal cheesehead

You may try this,

WebDriverWait wait = new WebDriverWait(driver, TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10));
wait.Until(ExpectedConditions.ElementIsVisible(By.Id("currentPassword"))).SendKeys("testabc");

@Kevin then you should debug your code, And you will find where exactly it is stuck. Might be you will find something else that is causing.
