Use when reviewing sign-in, sign-up, MFA, CAPTCHA, recovery, and re-auth flows. Evaluate the full authentication path, including error handling and backup methods, not just the primary login form.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Provide accessible authentication methods Authentication often becomes the first hard blocker for users with cognitive, motor, low-vision, or speech-input needs. If sign-in, MFA, or recovery relies on memorization or transcription with no assisted path, the user may be locked out before they can access the product at all. ## Quick Reference - Do not block paste or password managers in login and recovery flows - Prefer passkeys, magic links, device approval, or password-manager-friendly flows - Support OTP autofill and paste with appropriate semantics such as `autocomplete="one-time-code"` - Avoid CAPTCHA or secondary checks that require memorizing or transcribing information without an alternative ## Check Review login, MFA, password reset, and account recovery for accessible authentication problems. Flag blocked paste, password-manager hostility, manual transcription requirements, inaccessible OTP handling, and CAPTCHA or knowledge checks without a compliant alternative. ## Fix Add password-manager-friendly fields, support paste and OTP autofill, and provide at least one authentication path that does not depend on a cognitive function test. ## Explain …

How to install
mdr add thedaviddias/front-end-checklist/accessible-authentication@sha256:1d46fd0acbfaf722The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260529.7c05904, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
