you can use chrome profile (see below image to figure out which profile you want to launch)

  1. Default Profile :

Code :

from selenium import webdriver options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\***\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data") driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', options=options) driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")
  1. for customized profiles :

Code :

from selenium import webdriver options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\***\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data") driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', options=options) driver.get("https://www.google.co.in")

You can get profile while running chrome://version/ in Google chrome.

You can import your default Chrome browser profile to be used by Selenium ChromeDriver as following:

from selenium import webdriver from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options options = webdriver.ChromeOptions() options.add_argument("user-data-dir=C:\\Users\\yourUserFolderName\\AppData\\Local\\Google\\Chrome\\User Data\\Default") driver = webdriver.Chrome(executable_path=r'C:\path\to\chromedriver.exe', chrome_options=options)

Hello im trying your code but i have a problem. nothing saves to driver and i can't login my gmail account because it says this browser is not secury.
This will not help you login gmail. It detects browser managed by automatic toll (selenium) and blocks it.
I fixed problem with using this path: C:\Users\asshole\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default
