Audit finding
Very verbose link names when selecting a MFA method
User impact
The issue creates an accessibility barrier in the affected workflow, screen, or component.
Remediation plan
Implement a component-level and template-level fix that removes the barrier in all affected states and add verification coverage so the issue stays resolved.
Steps to reproduce
- Open the MFA captive view.
- Navigate the method links with a screen reader.
- Record their accessible names in normal reading and links-list modes.
- Compare the names with the visible labels.
- Observe excessive repeated or irrelevant wording.
Version
6.1
Expected result
Appropriate and short link names provided for MFA sequence.
Actual result
Link names too long and disorienting for assistive technology users. These are unhelpful.
