I assume that the log-in will be through an (x)html form. If that is
the case just make sure that you use the label element wrapped around
the input prompt with the for attribute pointing to the id attribute of
the input element and you should be fine. If the system uses a captcha
for sign up, you will need to create an alternative for screen reader
and screen magnifier users.

Subject: [WebAIM] Setting Up Accessible Log-In For Password Protected
AreasOf A Website

Hi,
I need to set-up an accessible log-in for a password protected area of a
website that I'm developing. This log-in needs to be screen reader
accessible.
Does anyone have any tips on what I'll need to observe to make certain
that this is screen reader accessible?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
