    Re: Google CAPTCHA alternative replaces it with simple checkbox

    This is for desktop right? Or just mobile?

    Could be a godsend. Hexus's captcha is impossible. Or rather it's easy except that it tells me I've got it wrong 75% of the time. Which is weird when I'm very confident I've got it right 95% of the time...

    Re: Google CAPTCHA alternative replaces it with simple checkbox

    Spotted this on humble bundle recently. Was surprised how easy it was to get past (unlike the hexus one which fails regularly even when I right as Noli mentioned previously). Hopefully the spammers won't get past it easily (although I expect someone is trying to already).

    I've never failed it, I think the obvious problem here is that you're both robots.

    Re: Google CAPTCHA alternative replaces it with simple checkbox

    I've noticed the captcha on hexus times out, so if you open a page in say a new tab, but leave it for a bit even if you enter it correctly it'll always say it's wrong.

    Hope that helps!

    At least the change does not require me to look at obscure letters anymore.

    Instead of cats and dogs, will porn sites use cats and pussies, or musk rats and beavers?

    Re: Google CAPTCHA alternative replaces it with simple checkbox

    ReCaptcha's are getting quite challenging now.
    It is nice to see a new idea but not quite sure on how it will work.

    That would explain it. I open all the pages I'm interested in and come back to them later. I'll try and remember to refresh next time.

    I sure feel like a robot with a 6 month old baby in the house (or would Zombie be more appropriate)?
