Worked on user experience enhancements for the Lost Password form in the Automattic/wp-calypso repository, focusing on improving accessibility and reducing user confusion. The project involved restructuring the form to place the 'Need more help?' link in a dedicated wrapper below the main call-to-action, and updating the Support link to open in a new tab with appropriate security attributes. Leveraged React for component updates, JavaScript for logic, and SCSS for styling adjustments to ensure visual clarity. Added regression and unit tests to enforce link ordering and underline behavior, supporting maintainability and preventing future regressions in the password recovery workflow.

In 2026-05, delivered UX-focused password-recovery enhancements for Automattic/wp-calypso. The Lost Password form now presents the 'Need more help?' link in a dedicated wrapper below the primary CTA, and the Support link opens in a new tab with proper rel attributes. These changes, combined with SCSS adjustments and a shift to the ExternalLink component, improve accessibility, reduce user confusion, and preserve user context. A regression/unit test suite was added to lock in link ordering and underline behavior to prevent future regressions. The work improves self-service, reduces support friction, and demonstrates robust collaboration with cross-team updates.
