I am trying to log into coinbase https://coinbase.com/signin

Here is my code

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import Select
from selenium.common.exceptions import NoSuchElementException


site = "https://coinbase.com/signin"
email = "[email protected]"
password = "mypassword"

xpaths = {
'emailTxtBox' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[2]/div/input',      
'passwordTxtBox' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[3]/div/input',
'submitButton' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[4]/div/input'
    }

browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get(site)

#Write Username in Username TextBox
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['emailTxtBox']).send_keys(email)

#Write Password in password TextBox
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['passwordTxtBox']).send_keys(password)

#Click Login button
mydriver.find_element_by_xpath(xpaths['submitButton']).click()

I run this, and selenium opens coinbase, then refreshes after a couple seconds, then nothing happens.

Are you sure your xpaths are hitting the right elements? For the two send_keys you should see the text typed in at least. If the xpaths are off but still match something, Selenium will happily go forth sending keys and clicking on the wrong elements. — Louis

You are specifying:

xpaths['usernameTxtBox']

but it doesn't exist according to your array:

xpaths = {
'usernameTxtBox' # needs to be in the array
'emailTxtBox' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[2]/div/input',      
'passwordTxtBox' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[3]/div/input',
'submitButton' : '/html/body/div[2]/div[2]/div[2]/div/div/form/div[4]/div/input'
    }

Edit after comment: I'd consider either revising your xpath, or Keeping It Simple, (Stupid).

//input[@id='email']
//input[@id='password']
//input[@id='signin_button']
