9.12 For each field that expects personal user data, is input facilitated?

Test 1 (9.12)

iOS

1. Access each of the form fields (tap on the input field, for example, to activate the appearance of input controls).
2. For each field that expects personal data about the user, check that the appropriate platform-native controls are presented to the user. For example
   • for a field requesting the user's e-mail address, the keyboard shown has the @ character without the user having to perform any keyboard operations (such as displaying the secondary keyboard);
   • for a field asking the user to enter a telephone number, the numeric keypad is presented directly to the user;
   • and so on.
3. Check that the form is compatible with an auto-fill mechanism. For example, iOS allows fields to be filled in automatically on the basis of the last values entered, depending on their nature (postal address, town, surname, first name, e-mail address). Check that relevant values are suggested for these fields.
4. If so, the criterion is validated.

Android

1. Access each of the form fields (tap on the input field, for example, to activate the appearance of input controls).
2. For each field that expects personal data about the user, check that the appropriate platform-native controls are presented to the user. For example
   • for a field requesting the user's e-mail address, the keyboard shown has the @ character without the user having to perform any keyboard operations (such as displaying the secondary keyboard);
   • for a field asking the user to enter a telephone number, the numeric keypad is presented directly to the user;
   • and so on.
3. Check that the form is compatible with an autofill mechanism. For example, Google provides an auto-fill system on Android. Go to Settings > System > Languages and input > Advanced settings > Autofill service (depending on the version of the platform, the path may be different) to activate and set the parameters.
4. On the application form, check that the system offers you an option to fill in the data automatically.
5. If it does, the criterion is validated.
