Shake Text
A quick horizontal shake, the universal 'no' for a wrong password or invalid form field. Plays once here; in your app, add the class when validation fails.
Also known as: error shake, wrong password shake, vibrate text.

}Customizing this snippet
- Color: set
--txt-coloron the element or a parent. Currently previewing#3b82f6. - Font size: set
--txt-size. Every other dimension is inem, so the whole thing scales together. Currently previewing40px. - Speed: change the duration on the
transitionoranimationshorthand. Staggered delays are relative, so they keep their rhythm. - Reduced motion: the rule at the end of the CSS turns the motion off for people who asked their OS for less of it. Keep it.
