Blind member can't login to FTH. Can we remove login dropdown? 7 years 3 months ago #68161

Our club has a blind member and her blind-assisting computer cannot navigate the drop-down in the username box. This prevents her from logging in and signing up for any roles, including speeches.

Is there a way to remove this drop-down feature so the login and password don't suggest anything and simply allow her to simply type without interruption? If not, is there another way she could access her account? A back-door or sorts?

Thanks!

SteveTheTechie Offline Administrator Posts: 11526 Thank you received: 3795	We have had the email entry alternative forever... In the past, it was used when we were having server performance issues, so people did not need to wait for the server to populate the drop-down.

Is this something you would be willing to do? You would be my clubs hero if you could. This incompatibility has caused our blind member, and the club, a lot of obstacles. Thanks for the consideration. Mark Stanton #2973
