Transmit Security Makes Logging in Easier for Everyone With New Accessibility Options

The goal of our passwordless customer authentication service is to make logging in easier for everyone. We’re continuing to deliver on that promise by empowering customers to customize their experience with new accessibility capabilities. End users will now be able to tailor their login experience to suit their individual needs with a wide range of audio and visual options.

The features within our new Accessibility Menu achieve Level AA conformance with the latest Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), a framework that helps make web content more accessible for everyone. Transmit Security is investing in these robust accessibility features because they align with the company’s vision of a more inclusive and effortless login experience.

Our passwordless authentication service uses built-in biometric readers embedded in consumer devices, which makes traditional input from keyboards unnecessary. For many users, this is already a huge step toward a more accessible web environment. Now we’re adding a wide array of additional custom options, such as color and content adjustments, text readers and smart navigation. This brings us even closer to our goal of an authentication experience built for everyone.

When a user logs in using Transmit Security, they can tap or click on the Accessibility Menu to customize their accessibility experience. The accessibility suite is designed to be as approachable as possible regardless of what a user’s unique needs might be.

The new accessibility options include:
