"I'm also in a PhD program for cyber security. I want to know if there are
any extra steps that you have to take as users, to avoid things like a data

When you enter characters into a password field, screen readers do not echo
the key back to you (as they usually do by default). What you hear depends
on the screen reader, but it's usually something like "star" or "dot" or an
audio-con.

There is a move to collect information about browser security and
accessibility. I'll post it in a separate thread, because I've been meaning
to ask people on this list for contributions.
