    <thetext>+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #10994 +++

Since accesskeys are chosen depending on the user&apos;s platform and available keys and available key bindings in the browser/OS, accesskeyLabel exposes that information about the user which was not possible before, i.e. it increases the fingerprinting.

Moreover, if a browser considers accesskeys from cross-origin iframes when assigning a key, accessKeyLabel exposes information about the cross-origin iframed document (if it uses accesskeys) which was not possible before, e.g. it might be possible to tell if the user is logged in on the other site.</thetext>

    <thetext>We moved accessKeyLabel to WICG, since it had one buggy implementation and it would be nice if it were improved before we got more of them.
