 open /wp-admin/

 Both of those forms do not have a "submit" but all forms must have a
 submit for accessibility reasons
 https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Techniques/html/H32

 Since the submit button is displayed conditionally, it might make sense to
 only load it as form conditionally too? (e.g. as div if we do not have
 anything submittable)
