3 accessibility failures we find in every fintech onboarding flow.
A recent audit of fintech onboarding flows revealed three common accessibility issues. These problems, which automated scans often miss, can hinder users relying on assistive technologies. The article outlines the issues and provides solutions to improve accessibility for all users.
- ▪The first issue is an email field lacking a visible label, making it difficult for screen reader users to understand its purpose.
- ▪The second issue involves password validation messages that disappear too quickly, preventing users with low vision from seeing them.
- ▪The third issue is that the Continue button is unreachable via Tab on mobile devices due to broken focus order.
