How to send multiple values for same input field in selenium

Question

I want to send multiple input values for the same input field in selenium using python. Below is my code for sending only a single value to the input field. I want to test and run for multiple values.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
driver=webdriver.Firefox(executable_path='path')   
driver.get("http://site")    
username = driver.find_element_by_id("username")  
password = driver.find_element_by_id("password")   
username.send_keys("username")  
password.send_keys("password")  
#call the submit button
driver.find_element_by_CSS_selector('#form-login .button')click()

you mean to say performing login check based on different username and password combinations ? — NarendraR

if you are agree with @NarendraR then you should use clear() for clear the field and you can send it back different value by sendKeys() — akshay patil

You can use dictionary to achieve this. First declare a dictionary with the user name / password combination you want. Then using foreach you can iterate through this & check for multiple combination

userpass = {
    "user1":"pass1",
    "user2":"pass2",
    "user3":"pass3"
}

for un in userpass:
    username.send_keys(un)  
    password.send_keys(userpass[un])
    #rest of your actions
