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.

What does this plugin do?
<ul>
<li>Wraps radio, checkbox and list (repeater) fields in a fieldset.</li>
<li>Improves form validation by displaying an on-page message that describes how many errors there were in the page. The message contains a list of the form fields with the errors, a description of the error and a link to the field.</li>
<li>Adds aria-describedby attributes for date and website fields – providing clear instructions for screen reader users of what format is required for the field.</li>
<li>Adds aria-describedby attributes for fields that have failed validation – providing clear instructions for screen reader users of what the field error is. Description used is the default validation message for the field, or if set, the validation message for the field.</li>
<li>Disables the Gravity Forms configured tabindex – this stops users from being able to tab between fields and on-page links.</li>
<li>Changes links in the form body, such as field descriptions or HTML fields, so they open in a new window. A title is added or appended to any existing title for screen reader users which reads ‘this link will open in a new window’.</li>
<li>Improved file upload field – wrapped in field set, clearly identifies to screen reader users if any file size of file type restrictions have been set of the field.</li>
<li>Improved field instructions – if a description has been provided for the field, the field is ‘described by’ the description, using the aria-describedby attribute</li>
</ul>

Please take the time to review the plugin. Your feedback shows the need for Gravity Forms to meet the WCAG 2.0 requirements natively, and will help me understand the value of this plugin.
Please note:
<ul>
<li>Accessibility is a complicated topic and sometimes there are different opinions on how to best achieve an accessible website. Accessible forms are even harder to achieve, with many different approaches. If you have a suggestion, comment or request please leave a detailed message on the support tab.</li>
<li>This plugin does not cover other aspects of accessibility, such as content order, clear instructions, colour contrast etc.</li>
<li>You will need to ensure that your websites theme is accessible. </li>

Works out of the box, just like it says it does. This should be built into the core plugin.
