xpath not working properly with Selenium (python)

quick preface: I'm new to python and scraping so it's possible that I'm making an extremely obvious mistake.

I am trying to use Selenium to automate a few processes, the first of which is to open https://shop.anyseals.com/index.phtml and enter in a username and password.

This is how I am approaching it - A method that has worked for me without issue in the past with other websites.

from selenium import webdriver  import time    chromedriver = "A:\Downloads\chromedriver_win32 (1)/chromedriver"  driver = webdriver.Chrome(chromedriver)  driver.get("https://shop.anyseals.com/index.phtml")    #Let's wait for X seconds so that the elements can load.   time.sleep(3)    user = "username@user.com"  use = driver.find_element_by_xpath('//*[@id="userkey"]')    use.send_keys(user)  

I'm using the xpath from the html associated with the username input. (html shown below)

<input name="userkey" id="userkey" style="width:100%" type="text"   onkeydown="if(event.keyCode=='13')perform_login('smp');">  

I keep getting the error shown below that states that there is no such element. What am I missing here?

selenium.common.exceptions.NoSuchElementException:   Message: no such element: Unable to locate element: {"method":"xpath","selector":"//*[@id="userkey"]"}
