Good afternoon,

I kindly request your assistance in resolving a problem I have encountered while using Power Automate to log in automatically to a local application. The issue is that both the username and password text boxes are identified with the same name, "edit edit." Is there any way to resolve this problem, since attempting to repair it and assign an ID results in the same ID being assigned to both text boxes?

Can you take a screenshot of the UI element selector and share it here?
Like so:

There should be some other attributes to differentiate the Username and Password fields. Like Name/Title or something.

Well that’s unfortunate that it has nothing to differentiate the element with. I assume that the elements 1 (Pane 'ProClientWin') and 2 (Pane 'ProFrame') doesn't differ either.

Then only thing I can think of is to use either send keys (maybe with tab) to navigate to the correct field or with "move mouse to image" -action. Both of those options can be unstable. If the image changes at all the action fails and

With send keys you could try to "Focus text field in window" -action the Login button (Inciar sesión) and use Send keys with Shift + Tab 2x to go back 2 fields. Then it should focus on the Username field. Then Send keys the username and use send keys to tab to the password field and again send keys to populate Password.

Like so:

It might seem dumb to use "Focus text field in window" since the button is not a text field but that way your flow focuses on that button without pressing it. Then two shift tabs go two fields behind and you are in the username field.
