To print the validation message The email address or the password is incorrect. Please re-enter. you can use either of the following Locator Strategies:

Using css_selector and get_attribute("innerHTML"):

print(driver.find_element_by_css_selector("div.ant-alert-message").get_attribute("innerHTML"))

Using xpath and text attribute:

print(driver.find_element_by_xpath("//div[@class='ant-alert-message'][contains(., 'address or the password')]").text)

Ideally you need to induce WebDriverWait for the presence_of_element_located() and you can use either of the following locator strategies:

Using CSS_SELECTOR and text attribute:

print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, "div.ant-alert-message"))).text)

Using XPATH and get_attribute():

print(WebDriverWait(driver, 20).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.XPATH, "//div[@class='ant-alert-message'][contains(., 'address or the password')]"))).get_attribute("innerHTML"))

Note : You have to add the following imports :

from selenium.webdriver.support.ui import WebDriverWait
from selenium.webdriver.common.by import By
from selenium.webdriver.support import expected_conditions as EC
