java - Selenium Chromedriver - Open Chrome Normally

Question

I am trying to login to a web application using Selenium and ChromeDriver. I am able to fill in the email and password fields correctly but every time I click login it requires me to enter a new verification code sent to my email.

If I log in using Chrome normally it will skip this step. Is there a way to open Chrome using Selenium so that it remembers my usernames and passwords?

Here is my code so far:

String baseUrl = "https://www.easports.com/fifa/ultimate-team/web-app/";
driver.get(baseUrl);
driver.manage().window().fullscreen();
Thread.sleep(10000);

WebElement login = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='Login']/div/div/div[1]/div/button"));
login.click();
Thread.sleep(2000);



WebElement email = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='email']"));
email.sendKeys("******@hotmail.com");
Thread.sleep(1000);

WebElement password = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='password']"));
password.sendKeys("*******");

WebElement loginButton = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[@id='btnLogin']/span"));
loginButton.click();
Thread.sleep(10000);

Selenium uses a temporary browser profile. If you want to use existing profile, you need to specify it before driver opens the browser. An example for Chrome:

public class WebdriverSetup {   
    public static String chromedriverPath = "C:\Users\pburgr\Desktop\selenium-tests\GCH_driver\chromedriver.exe";

    // my default profile folder
    public static String chromeProfilePath = "C:\Users\pburgr\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data";    

    public static WebDriver driver; 
    public static WebDriver startChromeWithCustomProfile() {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromedriverPath);
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();

        // loading Chrome with my existing profile instead of a temporary profile
        options.addArguments("user-data-dir=" + chromeProfilePath);

        driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.manage().window().maximize();
        return driver;
    }
    public static void shutdownChrome() {
        driver.close();
        driver.quit();
    }
}

and for Firefox:

@BeforeClass
public static void setUpClass() {

    FirefoxOptions options = new FirefoxOptions();
    ProfilesIni allProfiles = new ProfilesIni();         
    FirefoxProfile selenium_profile = allProfiles.getProfile("selenium_profile");
    options.setProfile(selenium_profile);
    options.setBinary("C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe");
    System.setProperty("webdriver.gecko.driver", "C:\Users\pburgr\Desktop\geckodriver-v0.20.0-win64\geckodriver.exe");
    driver = new FirefoxDriver(options);
    driver.manage().window().maximize();

}

selenium_profile is in my case customized firefox profile (don't ask to download files, don't ask for user certificate, etc.).
