      Actual Results

      The "alt" attribute is not provided in the source code of the "profile icon" decorative image (this image will appear in the "User" input field when user start typing user name i.e Admin Admin).
      As a result, screen reader users were able to access the decorative image and it was communicated as unlabelled.

      Expected Results

      Provide an empty "alt" attribute i.e., (alt="") for decorative image.
