flotsom Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 When I try to login to the contributor site I'm getting reCAPTCHA hell, I selected all the images with gas stations, mountains, water, apartment buildings and even all images that matched the label facial tissue holder..... before finally after 5 mins getting the verify button and logging in, my joy was short lived however as when I click on image manager, account balance and anything else that opens in a new window I'm asked to login again and endure a repeat of the long and tedious reCAPTCHA verification. I'm not a robot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 I got that when I tried to sign in a couple of weeks ago on my android tablet. But only had to do it once. Had never run into it before. Was a bit leery. Jill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotoDogue Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I got a new one. While I was browsing images the screen froze and this appeared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecile Marion Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I also had that one earlier today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Barnes Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I get the reCAPTCHA quite often. Annoying, time consuming, and completely unnecessary! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Barnes Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 Just had about 10 reCAPTCHAs to work through just to get logged in this morning - VERY ANNOYING! I have to do this EVERY TIME I log in. Please make it stop!!!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flotsom Posted July 4, 2017 Author Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) Had to endure another 10 minutes of it just to login and reply! I estimate months of my life are wasted selecting all the squares with whatever in them just to login to various sites, I wish google had never patented the stupid recaptcha, it's torture! ..please, google make it STOP!

Martin P Wilson Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I am at the stage where unless it REALLY matters I no longer use sites that use this ridiculous multipage reCaptcha. Alamy is close to being one of those ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 (edited) I had a couple on Google Adsense analytics the other day. Fisrt time I'd ever seen it, but I only ever use the same two PCs. Edited July 5, 2017 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure to scare new and possibly old clients off. It is a pain in the ass to have to close it every time we browse Alamy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 Hint: when you are asked for apartment buildings, include multi-storey car parks - the thing can't tell the difference. #MAKE IT STOP!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Robinson Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Best one yet. Click on all squares including a gondola. It was a closeup of a gondola. I click on all squares, because they were all a gondola. No. Try again. #MakeItStop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nacke Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Captcha has got to go.... VERY BAD idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Interestingly absolutely none of the financial online services (bank, investments, pension etc) I use feel the need for reCaptcha. Surely they have a stronger need for security than Alamy forums or even (most) dashboards? So why does anyone use it?

DJ Myford Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I haven't seen it for a couple of days now. Perhaps the change has been made but is taking a while to propagate between servers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Gone for me again (at the moment). Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDoug Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Gone for me for a couple of days but I must have jinxed it by breathing a sigh of relief. Now it's back as bad as ever. Guess I'll have to be content with lurking until such time that signing in is less trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flotsom Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 After failing to select all 8 pages of roads I was then asked to select around the street sign .....nooooo! #makeitstop! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 It seemed to depend on which page I was logging into. My Alamy popped it up, so I switched to Net Revenue and went straight in. I refuse to play the reCaptcha game on Alamy. Not worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M.Chapman Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 It's started appearing for me now on the forum login on my Mac. I clicked all the street sign squares and clicked verify and it just froze. Waited a while, nothing happened. Quit Chrome reopened, went to login to the forum, no problem, reCAPTCHA didn't even appear. I thought somebody said reCAPTCHA was going to be removed?

DJ Myford Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I haven't seen it at any time this week, whether logging in to the forum or dashboard. Just been able to log in normally every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
