Description
See #24766 for some background. In the login screen, there are a couple of title attributes:
They serve no useful purpose and add noise for screen reader users.
Also, discussed a bit with the Italian polyglots team, they're difficult to translate. While in English there's (maybe?) a subtle irony in a sentence like "Password Lost and Found", the current Italian translation is "Ufficio oggetti smarriti - Password" which sounds a bit weird. I guess it's not so easy to translate the tone of this sentence in other languages too.
I'm not opposed to a bit of irony and in core there are some examples of irony I appreciate ("Slow down cowboy ... ") :) but in this case I'd propose to just remove these 2 title attributes.
Agreed.
