Login needs a Captcha now?

Hi,

i just relogged in into the forum and  found that the login needs now Two Factor Authentication (TFA) and a Captcha. This seems to be kind of overkill. 😳 

That captcha btw, i this recaptcha (related to google)? I would very much prefer friendlycaptcha which skips this whole select-pictures-with-XXX.

Unimportant fun fact: I was told some times ago that this kind of captcha was used to use millions of "volunteers" to train image recognition KI.

Best regards

Olaf

Those images always contain objects, that are part of the cocodataset and should be detectable by any AI now with a higher percentage than humans do 😀

And if you want to outsource everything: Captcha solving subscriptions charge maybe 5 bucks for 1k captchas and prices keep dropping.

The Captchas are really only there to annoy users.

Those photographs always contain items from the cocodataset, which should now be detected by any AI at a higher rate than humans.

And if you want to outsource everything, captcha solution subscriptions cost around $5 for 1,000 captchas, and costs are steadily decreasing.

Captchas are mostly used to frustrate users.
