# TextArea A form field that allows the user to input text over multiple lines. ## Guidelines - Use a TextArea when users need to enter more than 1 sentence of text, such as a comment or description. - The height of the TextArea should be appropriate for the information to be entered. - A TextArea must have a label, and in most cases, this label should be visible. - Use `spellcheck="false"` for fields that may contain sensitive information, such as passwords and personal data. Some browser extensions for spell-checking send this information to external servers. ## Accessibility - [WCAG 2.1](https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Techniques/html/H91.html) requires that the TextArea has a label or title attribute.
