RE: CFC - Accessible Authentication and issue responses (-1, objection)

0

I am happy to see this in WCAG but I am objecting to the level AAA

This is a complete block for many people with disabilities. It is implementable and testable, and therefor should be level A.



All the best

    Hi All,
  
 -1 for me.
  
 Recalling and transcribing information involve working memory. People with cognitive disabilities suffer from deficits in short term and long term working memory. They cannot even copy information because, by the time they look away from the input field, look at the info, then look back to the input field, they have forgotten the information.
  
 For empirical evidence, see “Clinical Assessment, Computerized Methods, and Instrumentation” by F.J. Maarse, L.J.M. Mulder, A.N. Brand, A.E. Akkerman.
