Level A · WCAG 2.2
3.3.7 Redundant Entry
Information the user already entered in the same process is not demanded again — it is auto-filled or offered for selection.
Manual only No automated check says anything useful.
How it fails in practice
A checkout that asks for the delivery address, then asks for the billing address with no “same as delivery” option.
How to fix it
Carry the value forward, or offer it as a choice. The exception is where re-entry is essential — confirming a new password, for example.

How far an automated check gets
Nothing automatic decides this. A scanner that reports it as passing is reporting that it did not look. It stays untested until a person tests it and records what they did — which is exactly how we treat it: as untested, not as passed.
