Ananyoo Accessible Login

Ananyoo Accessible Login transforms the default WordPress login, lost-password, password-reset and registration screens into a fully accessible, mobile-friendly experience that conforms to WCAG 2.2 Level AA out of the box — without sacrificing any of the visual customization power that site owners expect from a modern login plugin.

Why this plugin?

This plugin approaches login customization with accessibility as the starting point. Its defaults, palettes and customization options are designed around WCAG 2.2 AA requirements — colour combinations are checked for contrast, focus indicators are preserved, and target sizes are kept within recommended bounds — so that customizing the login screen does not come at the expense of accessibility.

Key features

• 10 hand-tuned, WCAG 2.2 AA compliant color palettes — pick one during the 1-minute setup wizard and apply it instantly. Or design your own; the plugin never forces a palette on you.
• Custom backend login URL (optional — off by default) — replace /wp-login.php with a slug you choose (e.g. /my-secret-door); when you enable it, the old URL can return 404 to block automated brute-force scanners.
• Logo upload + customization — your logo, your dimensions, your alt text, your link target (defaults to your homepage, never wordpress.org).
• Five layout styles — centered, minimal, split-left, split-right, full background image.
• Background customization — solid color, image upload, overlay opacity, or one of four CSS-only patterns (dots, grid, waves).
• Typography control — pick from system, Inter, Poppins, classic sans, serif or monospace; minimum 16 px enforced.
• Show / hide password toggle — satisfies WCAG 2.2 SC 3.3.8 Accessible Authentication.
• Caps-lock warning — announces to screen readers via aria-live.
• 3 px focus ring with 2 px offset — meets the new WCAG 2.2 SC 2.4.11/2.4.13 focus requirements.
• 44 × 44 default target size (24 × 24 enforced minimum) — meets WCAG 2.2 SC 2.5.8.
• Reflows cleanly at 320 px — no horizontal scrolling on the smallest phones.
• prefers-reduced-motion respected — animations disabled for users who request it.
• Windows High Contrast / forced-colors mode supported.
• Settings export / import — JSON-based, useful for migrating between sites.
• Structured layout controls — fine-tune corner radius, form width and padding, input height, button weight, focus-indicator width and a card-shadow toggle. Every value is bounded to a WCAG-safe range; the plugin does not accept arbitrary CSS, JavaScript or PHP.
• Reset to defaults with a single click.
• Semantic versioning + DB schema versioning — safe automatic migrations on upgrade.
• Translation-ready — all strings wrapped in __() with the ananyoo-accessible-login text domain.
