May 2026 monthly summary for learningequality/kolibri: Delivered Animated Picture Password Authentication UX Enhancement, significantly improving accessibility and engagement for login flows. The feature introduces animated feedback for picture password input (shake on incorrect sequence, success and overfill animations), makes the password form focusable with updated aria attributes, and coordinates animations with the Sign-In modal. To ensure robust navigation, auto-redirect during confirmation was disabled to allow manual redirect orchestration. The work includes dependency updates and expanded test coverage (adding vue/test-utils devDependency and tests for successful login redirect). Refactoring of sequence clearing logic and removal of an obsolete redirect test improved maintainability. Business value: smoother, accessible authentication reduces user drop-off and support tickets; technical value: modular, accessible, well-tested UX component with clearer state management.
