Frontend Nation 2025: The Cake Is a Lie... And So Is Your Login’s Accessibility by Ramona Schwering
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. #Accessibility #LoginForm #WebA11y #React #Vue #RamonaSchwering #Auth0 #FrontendNation #FEN2025 Make your login forms a gateway, not a gatekeeper. 💻 Read our blog: https://frontendnation.com/blog 🎟️ Sign up for Frontend Nation 2026 to stay updated: https://frontendnation.com/ 💜 Special thanks to all our event sponsors for 2025: Diamond Sponsors AG Grid: https://www.ag-grid.com/charts/?utm_source=frontend-nation&utm_medium=logo&utm_campaign=frontend-nation-sponsorship-2025 BitterBrains: https://bitterbrains.com/ Vue School: https://vueschool.io/ Certificates.dev: https://certificates.dev/ InstantDev: https://instantdev.io/ Platinum Sponsors Cypress: https://www.cypress.io/ Sentry: https://sentry.io/signup/?utm_source=event&utm_medium=sponsored-event&utm_campaign=general-fy26q2-evergreen&utm_content=signup-frontendnation2025-signup JavaScript Cert: https://certificates.dev/javascript Vue.js Cert: https://certificates.dev/vuejs/ Angular Cert: https://certificates.dev/angular React Cert: https://certificates.dev/react Nuxt Cert: https://certificates.dev/nuxt TypeScript Cert: https://certificates.dev/typescript Agorify: https://agorify.com/ Gold Sponsors Mastering Nuxt: https://masteringnuxt.com/ Mastering Pinia: https://masteringpinia.com/ LevelUp DX: https://levelupdx.com/
