I’m not sure I understand the process they are talking about. I understand the captcha, but not the process.

So does a user create 2 passwords? One easy and one really hard one. The hard password is then put through a captcha process and revealed on screen (along with several other captchas) after the initial password is entered? Then the use selects the proper captcha?

And is the captcha changed everytime?

I must be missing something because a human could easily tell if the same strong password is presented on screen each time and then you’d know which captcha to pick. And now you only need to brute force the easy password. I guess this would slow you down though as you still need a human to select the proper captcha each time.

And I'm sure that I don't. Didn't stop me from posting. ;-)
