Nobody Likes Captcha

[Cindy Claveau]

If you do, you need help. I cannot count the times I have been forced to reset my password on Google and Yahoo (my two main mailboxes), despite me writing things down and using the same passwords everywhere. I gave Windows the big finger when I disallowed the sign-on password (I have an AV program that keeps me safe). But now it's like EVERY SINGLE F***ING TIME I try to log into Steam or Gmail, it wants to deny my password and force me into the stupid, idiotic, blurry world of Captcha. Who the FUCK thought of this stupidity? Most of the images I see are too distant and blurry to identify all the bikes or all the buses or all the traffic lights. So I risk getting into an infinite loop trying to get all the squares right and missing the end of the guy's handlebars or the little tiny bus off on the horizon.

I'm sick of it. I just want to turn my PC on and go right to my work without jumping through so many hoops. Thank you world, for keeping my passwords safe from bad guys but how many times this week have I had to change my passwords? FIVE! That's how many!

Reminds me of car alarms. Don’t really work to stop car theft, but annoy everyone in the neighborhood.

Tired of proving you’re not a robot? Say goodbye to Captcha boxes.

There four specific Captcha boxes I hate:
1. *click on the bicycle* Boxes do not show different pictures, whole captcha is one image - one bicycle. So I click on all boxes. That wasn't correct answer, apparently.

2. *click on bicycle* Zero boxes have a bicycle.

3. *click on bicycle*. Box 1 & box 2 share the same bicycle image, box 3 might have part of that same bicycle. Click on all three boxes? On two of the boxes?

4. *click on a stap* WTF is a stap? Did it mean to put stop there? Should I click on the stop signs? In middle Dutch, stap = step in English. So . . . click on any steps? ^looks up word, sees definition that goes over my head, places head inside fridge, sleeps, and/or gives up on being a human^

I am convinced these are shitty by design because Google wants people to do as many as possible to train AI.

I don't like gmail and don't use it so that's one down. As for Steam I don't remember it ever asking me to solve a captcha. Weird.

It bugs me every time I boot up. Steam is in my startup list. And it has amnesia, every time I boot up.
