I think one of the first rules of robotics is that the robot is supposed to comply provided you have purchased both the robot enabling microtransaction and a set of the Doom Marine Power Armor.

There was a slight hiccup when this first implemented. I could not login as the captcha won't load no matter how much I press F5.

But it works fine now.

"Most of the time, this system will not require any input from the user, but if deemed necessary, you may be presented with a challenge or puzzle that is intended to be easy to solve by us humans but prove difficult for bots." THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAMN TIME I TRY TO LOG IN!! The text is completely unreadable. It takes usually 6+ tries and dozens of reloading the text to get one I can kinda guess the letters of. It is anything but "easy for us humans" and nothing but an annoyance that DOES NOT HELP WITH SECURITY. Just read this: https://www.komando.com/happening-now/355395/captcha-codes-are-more-than-just-annoying-theyre-putting-your-security-at-risk. This is completely useless. Edited by TheCaptain19WingNut

What if a Synth tries to log in? :D
Jokes aside, ConnieandMike said it right. It just goes on and on most of the times (7-8 pictures sometime). Edited by BAPWAS

The number of image challenges is based on how convinced Google is that you're not a synth... once you've got passed them though you can stay logged in or it should require less challenges (or none) next time you try to login.

DaedalusMachina007 wrote: The capcatcha failsafe is there to have something available instead of locking people out of their accounts until the service comes back up.
Considering how reliable Google's services (usually) are, this will be a rare occurance if nothing else.

It doesn't 'defeat the point' of having capcatchas at all; it is something I (rarely) encountered when I was still living in an apartment complex and sharing the same IP with others. Nexus has to balance security and convenience and I feel they've struck an acceptable balance between the two. Besides, in a worst case scenario you have a vandal who messes with a modder's settings or something that can be easily undone if reported quickly enough.
Pickysaurus wrote: The main reason we use the backup captcha is for users in China, where Google is blocked so they can't use the regular Captcha. Of course there are also those who are super-sensitive about their privacy online and block Google (among other) services. So it's an effort to cater to all our users.


I see, that makes sense.

To be honest, captchas aren't very secure in today's world as most modern bots could solve them. Hell, i could probably set up a webcam with a raspberry pie and ai and it could solve it easy. If anything captchas are more of an annoyance for humans. After all, ai can't become annoyed Edited by bobrombos
