I dont want to come off as mean. But please blizzard. Ditch “captcha” image login stuff. This system is ridiculous. Websites sure think that they are solving security issues by doing this when in reality it doesn’t solve ANYTHING.
If people want to get into something. They are going to be able to do it NO MATTER WHAT. All this does is make the honest user’s life MORE miserable because they have to stare at weird things like poorly rendered photos, ink blots, or things that aren’t even listed there that the system says IS. To attempt a login.
I am sorry, but please remove this from the website. Thank you.
These image captchas exist mostly to further the development of AI. Stuff like roadsigns and vehicles are likely used to help improve self-driving cars. It’s not really there to improve your security.
Which is fine. Captchas are extremely easy to implement and only come into effect when there’s more than the average traffic from a certain endpoint and are sufficient for most uses.
For services that don’t harm people if they fall below the 99.9% uptime window, this is fine since the continuous effort required to prevent serious attacks is extremely difficult.
