Fields in forms should be obvious and clearly identified to users so that a user knows what is asked of them. This is standard good practice when it comes to user experience. This helps users with low vision or those who are blind, identify what is needed and where. This is important to any digital experience and supports ease of use regardless of a user’s visual ability. Autofill can reduce physical load for users with physical impairments.

Summary Points:

  • Form fields should be long enough to compensate for translation (if applicable)

  • This is now eased by form autofill functionality as seen in any browser

  • Autofill can reduce physical load for users with physical impairments such as cerebral palsy, stroke, head injury, motor neuron disease or other learning disability

  • Helps users who prefer images as their primary mode of communication
