[Outreachy Task Submission] Accessibility Issue with Keyboard Navigation in Login/Signup Screen #4764

Intro

This is an accessibility problem with keyboard navigation I found in the Login/Signup screens.

Issue

Keyboard navigation works to some extent, but cannot be used to switch between login and signup. This is a violation of WCAG Success Criterion 2.1.1 (Level A) - keyboard. See

Description

Success Criterion 2.1.1 (Level A) - keyboard requires that all functionality of the content is operable through a keyboard interface without requiring specific timings for individual keystrokes, except where the underlying function requires input that depends on the path of the user's movement and not just the endpoints.

Impact

The inability to fully navigate with a keyboard would affect users with visual impairments, screen readers, or alternative forms of navigation (other than a mouse). They would be unable to use our platform.

Fix

Using a tab-index in the navigation tab for Log in and Sign up. I will make a PR for a fix shortly.
