The Select Frame keyword (from the RPA.Browser.Selenium library) selects the iframe using its name as the locator. After entering the value into the field inside the iframe, the Unselect Frame keyword is used to move the focus back to the main window. After that, it is possible to input text into the fields outside the iframe.
