3.3.8 and 3.3.9 examples conflict with each other #800

Open rossjs opened 1 year ago

rossjs commented 1 year ago

In 3.3.8, the "Problem" and "Works well" statements state that the person can't remember the password so it's better to allow a user to login via a link sent to their email. Then in 3.3.9, the "Works well" statement says to allow a user to copy and paste their password to login.

3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) (AA)

Problem

I can never remember my password, it’s really hard to get into this app.

Works well

To get into this app, I can put my e-mail address. Then I get an e-mail message, and I can click a link in the e-mail to get into the app.

3.3.9 Accessible Authentication (Enhanced) (AAA)

Problem

To get into this app, it's asking me to click on pictures of cats, but I can't tell which are cats.

Works well

To get into this app, I can copy and paste my password.

These aren't wrong as such, there are a bunch of things that could be used in the 'works well' section for each, with a lot of overlap. (The AAA version is there to say that object recognition CATPCHAs cause problems, but we couldn't prevent them at the AA level.)

The 'works well' at the AAA level is the absense of a CATPCHA, but it doesn't really work to say "To get into the app, I don't have to recognise objects in pictures."?
