Much like the promise of cake in Portal, login forms are everywhere in web development. While they may seem functional at first glance, many users with disabilities perceive a maze of invisible walls, from keyboard traps to inaccessible CAPTCHA. It's as if GLaDOS designed these forms herself to test us!

In this session, we will fix the accessibility problems in a real React login component. In a live demo with a screen reader, we will show how simple changes can make the user experience so much better. For example, by using ARIA tags correctly and managing focus more effectively. Let's learn about everyday (a11y) mistakes, both in the Portal game and in real life. The promise of cake may be a lie (or isn't it? 🤔), but accessibility can and should be genuine!
