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.

<h4>How to use this plug-in:</h4>
If you install and activate this plug-in before installing Contact Form 7, the default form created by Contact Form 7 will be accessible. If you’ve already installed Contact Form 7, you’ll want to delete the default form and create new forms using the templates available in this plug-in.
<h4>Use Contact Form 7 with an accessible default form</h4>
This plug-in replaces the default template that Contact Form 7 automatically generates with an accessible equivalent of that form and adds a suite of additional basic form types that you can choose from to model your new forms.
The plug-in doesn’t change anything about forms that have already been built with Contact Form 7. The structure of Contact Form 7 is such that it isn’t possible for the plug-in to rewrite existing forms for improved accessibility, but it is possible to make sure that the base you have for starting a form is accessible.
Contact Form 7 is actually a very accessible plug-in. It has an accessible back-end, and if you create the right template, the front-end form will have great accessibility.
Since version 4.5, Contact Form 7 has included the label element; but the usage of them is limited, and isn’t the best possible method. This plug-in supplies a new default form that includes everything you need to make your default form accessible.
