Your issue is that

login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='submit']")

Is not finding a button object. My guess is either your xpath find element is incorrect, or sleep_for_period_of_time() is not sleeping for long enough. You could try something like this

login_button = None
while not login_button:
    sleep_for_period_of_time()
    login_button = browser.find_element_by_xpath("//button[@type='submit']")

So that you will never try to click a button that has not yet been found.

Error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'click'

This error can be caused by either the button type mentioned here is not found (OR) Due to missing allow cookies accept button click, before redirecting to login. (OR) the button might disabled

If the button is disabled, Try:

    login_button = browser.find_element("xpath","//button[@class='sqdOP  L3NKy   y3zKF     ']")

    # try removing the attribute.
    browser.execute_script('arguments[0].removeAttribute("disabled");', login_button)
    login_button.click()

So, After Calling the browser.get(), Find cookies accept button class and click on it, which can redirect to the login button.

If cookies are opened before clicking login:

    cookie = browser.find_element("xpath","//button[@class='aOOlW  bIiDR  ']") 
    cookie.click()

And as per selenium 4.3.0 , the method find_element_by_xpath has been depricated.
