Description Carolyn MacLeod CLA 2016-02-01 15:03:58 EST
The "Linked Accounts" section on the User Profile Settings page is confusing, and it has accessibility issues.

Here are several questions that need to be addressed in the redesign:
- Why are the External Id's in a data <table>?
- Why do the "Remove" links only show up on hover (i.e. why are they "hidden")?
- The "Remove" links cannot be accessed using the keyboard.
- Shouldn't the "Remove" links be buttons?
- Are the icon links in the "Add linked account" section supposed to be buttons, or links? (if buttons, they should be <button>, if links, they should have href)

The most interesting question is, "Why is this section in an iframe? Does it need to be?"

iFrames seem to mess the screen reader up: the whole frame takes focus, and the screen reader says "frame" and starts reading all text inside the iframe.
It doesn't appear to be possible to navigate within the frame - even to elements that would normally take focus, so a keyboard-only user cannot use this section for anything.

Not sure what you are looking at or doing.  I went to the page (it's in Orion only) and didn't see and of the links you are talking about.  Also, this page is low priority for us.

That's fine that it's low priority.
I was simply going to every settings page to see if I could find/fix accessibility issues.
This section seemed pretty bad.

Closing as part of a mass clean up of inactive bugs. Please reopen if this problem still occurs or is relevant to you. For more details see:

Reopening - still valid.
The Linked Accounts section of the User Profile settings page is unusable with the keyboard, and it has some only-visible-on-hover links that should be always-visible buttons.
