The Cake Is a Lie... And So Is Your Login’s Accessibility

Login forms might look fine on the surface, but for users with disabilities, they can be a frustrating maze of poor accessibility. In this talk, Ramona Schwering, Developer Advocate at Auth0, walks us through the hidden issues in a typical React login form, and how to fix them.

With live demos using a screen reader, you’ll learn how to improve form accessibility through proper ARIA roles, keyboard navigation, and better focus management. Ramona also shares how to make authentication flows more inclusive, showing that while the cake may be a lie, accessible design doesn’t have to be.
