    Description

      Steps to reproduce

      • Go to login page
      • Navigate the page with the keyboard

      Actual result

      • The form controls get the focus before the banner logo and actions

      Expected result

      The banner elements get focus first, according to the following recommendation:

      When users navigate sequentially through content, they encounter information in an order that is consistent with the meaning of the content and can be operated from the keyboard. This reduces confusion by letting users form a consistent mental model of the content.

      Source: https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/focus-order.html

      In other pages than the login page, the banner elements get the focus first. Keeping the same order across pages is likely to help the user form a "consistent mental model", hence ease the user experience.
