I freshly installed Selenium and ran it with some python code, using Chrome browser (Chromium), on Ubuntu.

Chromium 79.0.3945.79 Built on Ubuntu , running on Ubuntu 18.04

As you can see I cannot login to gmail, this is what I get when I enter the correct email and password.

EDIT: I tried it on GeckoDriver (Firefox 71.0) as well and encountered the same problem.

This is intentional. Public sites can sense the automation (webdriver/*driver) of the client browser and restrict access based on that. Automation, if exploited, could compromize user accounts. Same, an automated browser could pull attacks on that site. Therefore, only development accounts/variants of the public site should allow logins through an automated browser.

Finally I did it but its little tricky and achieve the following scenario -> Login with gmail (Google Chrome Version 83) -> Compose an email -> select different label -> send it to myself -> and verified the mail received

Please let me know if help is need to complete the task

No need to create new account, just use your existing one ....
