Description
Describe the bug
In general, most input fields lack label-texts. Placeholders are used instead, but since that text disappears as soon as the user starts to type in the field this is not enough to comply with this success criterion.
Steps to reproduce
- Choose any of input element on the page.
- Check, if
inputhas a connectedlabel. - If not - add a right
label. If thislabelshould be hidden - there are some techniques to do it:
Implementation suggestion: https://www.w3.org/WAI/tutorials/forms/labels/
https://austingil.com/how-to-build-html-forms-right-accessibility/#Labels
Expected behavior
Every input have to have connected label.
A label and the form-element it identifies must be connected in the code. That way users with assistive technology such as screen readers can easily understand the purpose of the form-element.
Unfortunately, we saw several places where labels and their form-elements aren’t connected, making them challenging to use for screen reader users.
Actual behavior
Not every input has a label

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named; start by locating the Contacts app's input elements and auditing their label associations against the linked WAI forms guidance. Done means every input has a connected label, including cases where the label is visually hidden, and the relevant accessibility checks pass.
