Description
Steps to reproduce
Steps:
- With an iOS device, open this link to live example: www.huntington.com
- With VoiceOver activated, navigate to the login widget and open it.
- The user tries to navigate to the "commercial" or "other" tabs in the tab component, but iOS focus forces the user back to "Personal & Business."
This has been verified on an iPhone 16 with iOS 18.3, an iPhone 17 with iOS 26, and an iPhone 12 with iOS 26.
This was also tested on multiple Android devices using Talkback and they did not experience this behavior.
Current behavior
An iOS user with VoiceOver cannot navigate through and past the tabs component in the login widget for www.Huntington.com
Expected behavior
VoiceOver's focus should not be moved by the component.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in the www.huntington.com login widget with VoiceOver on iOS, focusing on the commercial and other tabs. Compare the behavior with Android TalkBack and inspect the tab component's focus handling. Done means VoiceOver can move through and beyond the tabs without being returned to Personal & Business, with regression coverage for the reported behavior.
