title: Can't run the bot without this error message "selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: element not interactable"
body: <p>I am trying to start a homemade bot, but get an error message every time. I installed all the requirements.</p>
  <p>In this bot, there are two kinds of code. The first one creates an account without any use of proxy. And the second one creates serval accounts with proxy (only captcha key in zip file). All the requirements are done (proxy and captcha). So the first bot is working perfect, but the second one is the one that keeps messing with me.</p>
  <p>The second code:</p>
