Témoignage de Joachim RobertKissKissBankBank, Web Integrator

When I changed careers, I wanted to bring meaning to my new assignments. Because I felt the need to consider the end user first, I took the Opquast training and then the certification. Thanks to what I learned, I succeeded in my interviews and convinced those who became my team. Opquast gave me the keys to understand quality, but also to find missions that make sense.

Rule n° 75 - The creation of a password by the user is subject to a mechanism for the prevention of input errors.

How many passwords end up being unusable due to a simple input error or inattention during their creation?

#Basics #Accessibility #Conception #Development #Forms

Goal

Prevent users from entering passwords that don’t match the ones that they wanted or that they memorized.

Solution technique

Amongst the possible implementations :

Suggest, after the password entry field, a confirmation field where the password must be entered again and check that the two entries are identical during the submission. In this case, as with all other form fields, make sure to allow copy and paste into form fields.
Allow users to display their password in clear text.
Provide a unique login link or code.

Moyen de contrôle

In the case of password creation:

Check that a mechanism for double entry of passwords, generally in the form of two successive fields, is systematically present.
