So I basically what to use BeautifulSoup to login to my stocks account on a website so that I can add it to my stock application and make it so that the app would buy/sell the stock depending on how the price increases or decreases throughout the day. When I was scraping through the website to login, I realized that I am not aware if you can even type or fill in the text in BeautifulSoup. To be more clear, let's say we have a login and a password bar which I want to type my username and password in. I scrape both search bars using BeautifulSoup but now I want to type my username and password in the fields. How can I do this? Also if BeautifulSoup cannot do this, are there any other modules that I can use to just simply log in for me?

You can use selenium for this (https://selenium-python.readthedocs.io/), together with beautiful soup:
