When designing your website, be aware of the font choice you make. Choose a font that is known for being handicap accessible. When we researched accessible fonts, we found two in the Google fonts that were highly rated for legibility - Atkinson Hyperlegible and Lexend get high ratings for accessibility. We use Atkinson here. We will also be using it for themes in something that's coming up. Here's why fonts can make such a difference. Have a look at how things look with different fonts:
the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Atkinson
the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Papyrus
the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Brush Script
the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Impact
the pass is 10OliIpqmdeoDb – Futura
Notice how the "I" in each one is harder to make out for most of the fonts other than Atkinson. The 0 and the O or o are also hard to distinguish. Keep fonts in mind when designing your website. Accessible fonts are not only visually appealing, but are much better for your audience as you won't be excluding visually impaired viewers from participating.
One last thing, the above was just an example and not an actual password.
