Security measures and accessibility don’t always play nice. Captchas, timed logins, alert pop-ups, gated content, and modals are often used for security but not all assistive technology can get their users past the barriers.
We’ll look at practical and straightforward ways to implement solutions that are open source, secure and accessible, keeping folks from abandoning your digital assets.
