Drawn for this page. Registration is often the first thing a family does with a school online; one impassable step ends it there.

  2. Register once as a new user, using only the keyboard, and time it.
  3. Mark each check meets, fails or not relevant.
  4. Send the failures to whoever runs the registration system.
  5. Check again after each change.

The criteria behind the checks

New in WCAG 2.2

WCAG 2.2 added Redundant Entry (3.3.7, level A): information already given in the same process must be filled in or selectable, not typed again; and Accessible Authentication (3.3.8, level AA): logging in cannot depend on a cognitive test such as remembering a password or solving a puzzle unless there is an alternative or help such as paste and password managers.

Time limits

Under WCAG 2.2.1, users must be able to turn off, adjust or extend a time limit, with a warning and at least 20 seconds to extend, unless the limit is essential or longer than 20 hours.

Fewer fields

Every field adds time and a chance to give up. Ask for what is needed to register now; collect the rest later.
