I’ve seen some others that show a picture and ask a question that requires human intelligence to answer, such as whether a woman’s skirt is above or below the knee. Many alternatives to capcha.
You can bet on it.
“Why does this stick need to be 128 gig and labelled as “swap”?
Swapping with what where?
I’ve used a Yubikey for two factor authentication. They work better in some machines than in others, in my experience.
fire hydrants are my favorite.. :O
CAPTCHAs are also very easy to parody. The funniest one I saw was a check box picture type, called “Find the Thot”. It had screen after screen full of pictures of selfies, TikTok girls, twerkers, etc. No matter how many you checked, there would be another page.
There was also the menacing text CAPTCHAs. The wrong movie quotes. The bad math ones. It was fun.
Amen
And you need 2020 eyesight for those damn gauntlets
That is how we knew our now 14 year old had vision issues at 3-4
He was looking at TV calling a dog a bear ....
He has what we euphemistically call a wandering or weak eye....
Which is in reality a perfectly good eyeball they brain hasn’t trained for some reason
After a year of tortuous training regimens ...he got glasses which are pretty stout...like 20/60 and 300/1200 eyesight....
It’s a lifetime of this baring developments
I think everyone loses vision capability by 55-60
Cloudfare’s reCAPTCHA is less about protecting websites and more about denying service to anyone using an anonymizing browser or other method to deny them the ability to identify and track them.
The more websites that use Captcha, the fewer I utilize.
And I’ll be damned if I’ll use some dongle to identify myself.
Quit doing business with one of my banks when they started requiring that their customers get a one time passcode sent to their smart phone every time they wanted to log into online banking.
What about those grids over a photo where you identify which squares have a picture of a cross walk?
Those tests seem to determine if you are a human or a robot well enough.
Boats, bikes and traffic lights.
"anonymizing browser"
Until they do the bus/car/truck, and the pictures are too small to see anything :/
I tried to read this article, but I couldn’t pass the CAPTCHA.

Lots of websites blocking VPN users. Constantly now have to opt in to almost every website to gain access with Apple’s new iOS update. Annoying as effk.
Presently it costs nothing to use a CAPTCHA. Why do they imagine I’s want to fork over 40-70 for some gadget that I don’t have a free port to plug it into that could also backdoor its way into my PC?
Yep, I have to allow several trackers in my NoScript blocker to even see the ReCaptcha. They have it rigged slick so that there is no way to get access without allowing the trackers too. So... They lose my business and I move on.
In house Q&A Captchas and/or Honey Pots work flawlessly for websites. Every site I have installed these on have never been hit with bot access. An absolute MUST for domain/site “contact” forms. And they are user/customer friendly.
Recaptchas are all about that 3rd party API connection...
