Cannot login?

Reproduce:
insert valid credentials into the dictionary and see this error:

TimeoutError: Waiting for selector `::-p-xpath(//span[contains(text(),"LOG IN")])` failed: Waiting failed: 3000ms exceeded

It looks like Puppeteer can't find the LOG IN link when loading the page. Are you running this from outside the United States? I'm wondering if it can't find it because the language changed on the page to something other than English.

Here's a potential workaround for now:

1. Open a Chrome or Firefox window and open the Dev Tools (press F12) and click on the Network tab
2. Navigate to https://www.investopedia.com/simulator/ and login
3. In the filter box, type "token"
4. Select the token request
5. Click on the Response tab
6. You should see a JSON object that looks something like this:

{
    "access_token": "eyJhbGciO...",
    "expires_in": 300,
    "refresh_expires_in": 604800,
    "refresh_token": "eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsInR5...",
    "token_type": "Bearer",
    "id_token": "eyJhbGciOiJS...",
    "not-before-policy": 1638915147,
    "session_state": "46eff9cf...",
    "scope": "openid profile email"
}

7. Select everything in the response and copy it.
8. In the base file directory create a new file called auth.json and paste the contents of the response in that file and save it.
9. Try running again.

Let me know if that works or if you need clarification.

Runnying example.py, I've tried 2 different accounts and I get:

I tried the F12 token lookup but I get "No matching selector or style".

I've also narrowed this down to a missing auth.json issue. Creating one, I got a access_token key error. Adding that key, it came up with a refresh_token key error.
