Text fields should have labels

The Accessibility Foundation audit reported that the way we style text fields, showing placeholder text but not a label, is an accessibility issue because the placeholder text disappears when the user starts to type, leaving no indication of the field's purpose.

This is my fault - I argued for removing the labels because I think the way they move and change size when the field gains or loses focus interacts badly with automatically giving focus to the first text field.
