Make sure that a form field doesn’t have multiple labels.

Description

Form inputs require proper labeling for screen readers to accurately interpret and convey their meaning and purpose to users. Multiple labels can lead to confusion.

Why is it important?

Using multiple labels for a form field can cause confusion. Different screen readers may interpret them differently. Some might only read the first label, others the last one, and in some cases, both. This mix-up can be frustrating for users, so it’s best to stick to one label per form field to avoid confusion.

How to fix?

Make sure that a form field is associated with only one label.
