Let's see how to identify the ids of login elements for facebook web application.
"Email or Phone" text input HTML

The following statements identifies the above 3 elements using id attribute on the page.
driver.findElement(By.id("email")).sendKeys("test123@gmail.com");
driver.findElement(By.id("pass")).sendKeys("testPassword");
driver.findElement(By.id("u_0_b")).click();.Take a look at the following example or watch this ~2 min no voice video tutorial for end-to-end execution. idDemo.javapackage selenium.locators.examples;
