Ananyoo Accessible Login transforms the default WordPress login, lost-password, password-reset and registration screens into a fully accessible, mobile-friendly experience that conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA out of the box — without sacrificing any of the visual customization power that site owners expect from a modern login plugin.
Designed and developed by Shivaji Mitra of M/S. Anblik — an accessibility consultant based in Kolkata, India, building WCAG-compliant websites since 2003 and showcasing this work at <a href="https://ananyoo.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Ananyoo</a>.

<h4>Why this plugin?</h4>
This plugin approaches login customization with accessibility as the starting point. Its defaults, palettes and customization options are designed around WCAG 2.2 AA requirements — colour combinations are checked for contrast, focus indicators are preserved, and target sizes are kept within recommended bounds — so that customizing the login screen does not come at the expense of accessibility.
<h4>Key features</h4>
<ul>
<li>10 hand-tuned, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant color palettes — pick one during the 1-minute setup wizard and apply it instantly. Or design your own; the plugin never forces a palette on you.</li>
<li>Custom backend login URL (optional — off by default) — replace <code>/wp-login.php</code> with a slug you choose (e.g. <code>/my-secret-door</code>); when you enable it, the old URL can return 404 to block automated brute-force scanners.</li>
<li>Logo upload + customization — your logo, your dimensions, your alt text, your link target (defaults to your homepage, never wordpress.org).</li>
<li>Five layout styles — centered, minimal, split-left, split-right, full background image.</li>
<li>Background customization — solid color, image upload, overlay opacity, or one of four CSS-only patterns (dots, grid, waves).</li>
<li>Typography control — pick from system, Inter, Poppins, classic sans, serif or monospace; minimum 16 px enforced.</li>
<li>Show / hide password toggle — satisfies WCAG 2.2 SC 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication.</li>
<li>Caps-lock warning — announces to screen readers via aria-live.</li>
<li>3 px focus ring with 2 px offset — meets the new WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.11/2.4.13 focus requirements.</li>
<li>44 × 44 default target size (24 × 24 enforced minimum) — meets WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8.</li>
<li>Reflows cleanly at 320 px — no horizontal scrolling on the smallest phones.</li>
<li>prefers-reduced-motion respected — animations disabled for users who request it.</li>
<li>Windows High Contrast / forced-colors mode supported.</li>
<li>Settings export / import — JSON-based, useful for migrating between sites.</li>
<li>Structured layout controls — fine-tune corner radius, form width and padding, input height, button weight, focus-indicator width and a card-shadow toggle. Every value is bounded to a WCAG-safe range; the plugin does not accept arbitrary CSS, JavaScript or PHP.</li>
<li>Reset to defaults with a single click.</li>
<li>Semantic versioning + DB schema versioning — safe automatic migrations on upgrade.</li>
<li>Translation-ready — all strings wrapped in <code>__()</code> with the <code>ananyoo-accessible-login</code> text domain.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Accessibility testing</h4>
This plugin is tested with the same tools and standards used in commercial accessibility audits:
<ul>
<li>JAWS, NVDA, VoiceOver (macOS & iOS), TalkBack (Android)</li>
<li>Keyboard-only navigation</li>
<li>Color Contrast Analyzer</li>
<li>Browser zoom up to 400 %</li>
<li>Deque AXE</li>
<li>Google Lighthouse</li>
<li>wave.webaim.org</li>
</ul>
These tools and assistive technologies are part of the plugin’s development and testing workflow.

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) Success Criterion 3.2 (Predictable) specifies that web pages should appear and operate in predictable ways. It is a common practice to set links that go to off-site locations to open in a new window or tab when clicked. Opening new windows or tabs automatically when a link is activated can be disorienting for people who have difficulty perceiving visual content, and for some people with cognitive disabilities, if they are not warned in advance.
This plugin helps websites become more accessible and better meet WCAG guidelines for predicability by providing advanced warning if a link is going to open a new window or tab before the user clicks or activates it. Providing a warning allows the user to decide it they want to leave the current window, and the warning will help them find their way back, if they do decide they would like to go to the new window. It will help them understand that the “back” button will not work and that they have to return to the last window they had open, in order to find their previous location.
There are no settings in this plugin. Simply activate it and it will automatically find all links that open in a new window and add the following three fixes to each link: 
1. A new window icon after the link text to denote that the link opens in a new window for sighted people. 
2. A tooltip, visible on hover, that says “opens a new window.” 
3. “Opens a new window” screen reader text that will be read out to blind or visually impaired people using screen readers immediately following the link anchor text.
Please note: new window warnings will be added to links and links that have been styled to look like buttons, including social media sharing and link icons. Depending upon what third party plugins are adding links to your site that open in new windows, some CSS styling may be required.
In addition to adding warnings for your users, this plugin integrates with the <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/accessibility-checker/" rel="ugc">Accessibility Checker plugin</a>; when Accessibility New Window Warnings is activated, it will automatically clear all “<a href="https://equalizedigital.com/accessibility-checker/link-opens-new-window-or-tab/" rel="nofollow ugc">Link Opens New Window or Tab</a>” warnings in Accessibility Checker scans of your website. Installing and activating this plugin is a great way to quickly remediate and remove a lot of open issues across you entire website.
The Accessibility New Window Warnings plugin is inspired by <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/WCAG20-TECHS/G201.html" rel="nofollow ugc">Techniques for WCAG 2.0 G201: Giving users advanced warning when opening a new window</a>.

Accessibility New Window Warnings

Install, activate, DONE! I love how simply this plugin fixes a real problem! This goes right into my starter site and on every website I build from here on out!

Simple solution for an important problem


I installed this on my blog as I wanted to ensure there was a visible indication when links opened external pages to better comply with accessibility guidelines without having to go through hundreds of old posts. Did the job and correctly and easily and automaticaly added the desired indicators, markup and icons.


Does the job intended

Make links that open in a new window compliant with WCAG guidelines for accessibility by adding a warning for users.
