Selenium Python - Clicking button by XPATH error

Question

I am trying to click the login button on a site, however I proceed to get an error.

I have tried getting the element by xpath, id, text and other ways but none worked for me.

from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.common.keys import Keys
import time
import random

while True:
    time.sleep(4)
    browser = webdriver.Chrome("C:\webdrivers/chromedriver.exe")
    #browser = webdriver.Chrome()
    browser.get("https://www.brickplanet.com/login")

    username = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="username"]')
    #username.clear()
    #username.send_keys('KOMKO190')

    password = browser.find_elements_by_xpath('//*[@id="password"]')
    #password.clear()
    #password.send_keys('this is my password btw!')

    login = browser.find_elements_by_id("submit")
    login.click()

The error I'm getting:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\DOMA\Desktop\bp hack.py", line 23, in <module>
    login.click()
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'click'

Process returned 1 (0x1)        execution time : 13.061 s
Press any key to continue . . .

Hey, sorry, it's not clicking by XPATH but by ID, sorry for my little mistake! — komko

The first thing you should do whenever you get an error that you don't know how to solve is to google the error. It's extremely unlikely that you are the first to get that error message and you will likely find a lot of info on the web where the error and possible solutions are discussed. — JeffC

True, but now I can't find how to continue the program even if I get the error — komko

The code you have posted here is not going to get you that error some of the time... it's going to happen every single time you run it. — JeffC

You are using find_elements_by_id which returns list of elements, that's why you are getting an error - If you are looking for a single element then use find_element_by_id ("element" instead of "elements"). This will return a single element which is found first in DOM.

This element only appears sometimes, not all of the time, how would I make it if it doesn't see it it just continues the program?
