Hi Everyone, I've been on this list for a while and have picked up some great advice on how to structure websites and be able to safely use things like drop down menus, etc.
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 breach. If you are using JAWS, do you worry about others 'hearing' your passwords/login info? How do you protect yourself?
I'm sure I'll have more questions later, as this is just a preliminary fact finding mission for me, and also if you could point me to any articles or websites that talk about the need for extra security when it comes to people with disabilities, regardless of what the disability is.
Thank you all.

"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
breach."
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.

Sharon,
Passwords, security codes, and anything secure is a real problem for dictation users. If not in a secure space, dictation users need to use alternative input devices for anyting with security needs.
