Hi We got some negative feedback on github on the new wording accessible authentication 


I am wondering if we can merge task completion and accessible authentication . The wording would be:




Successfully completing tasks does not rely on users memorizing information character strings and correct spellings; speak; or perform calculations, such as correctly identifying and entering numbers and letters from a character string or memorizing information presented in the current, or previous, user-interaction dialog steps; unless it is essential for the main function of a web site


Does anyone object to this direction?

All the best

    Hi All,  
  
 About SC 23, Accessible Authentication
  
 Based upon feedback from AG members, the COGA Task Force suggests the following revision. Are you content with it? If not, we can have a call with COGA members to discuss. Or, you can just provide any comments to the SC 23 discussion on GitHub. Thank you.     
  
 The proposal is to divide SC 23 into two separate success criteria.     
  
 SC 1
 User Authentication Methods: A mechanism is available that user authentication does not rely upon a user's ability to memorize information; recall information from memory; speak; or mentally process presented or recalled information beyond the mental processes that are required to use a simple web page.
  
 Techniques involve being able to reset authentication credentials via an email message sent with a new link; and/or use third-party authentication, biometrics, a smart card, or allow a browser to remember a password, etc.
  
 SC 2
 Users are not required to memorize information, character strings, and correct spellings; or perform calculations, such as including correctly identifying and entering numbers and letters from a character string; or speak, unless it is essential for the main function of a web site.
  
 Note: By using SC 2, we would be able to remove the  SC on task completion (Issue 21).
