Adding aria-describedby attribute to input fields with reference to occasionally appearing info text element below the related field causes screen readers to read out input fields together with corresponding info text (mainly error notification, e.g. failed validation). This change matches 1.3.1 Info and Relationships success criterion of WCAG 2.
Without this connection the info underneath the input field is being read out separately and for screen reader users it may not be clear which input element this info belongs to.
