Talk:ReCAPTCHA

message: Since last week Google is showing color pictures containing street numbers to solve. It's very possible they are fed from Google Streetview to more accurately locate houses. 87.153.135.6 (talk) 01:14, 28 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Yesterday I realized that sometimes ReCAPTCHA only shows one word. Example screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/BwHppTX.jpg. Now, how does that work? How can the user both digitize AND verify that he is human with only one picture?

thread_title:  Now there are suddenly not two words, but only one! 

message: As already stated in other posts here, this article is one of the badest I've read... it is like advertising this CAPTCHA system. And it seems critism is either removed or not allowed, especially as examples of breaking CAPTCHAs are missing, like this one:
http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2013/10/captcha-busted-ai-company-claims-have-broken-internets-favorite-protection-system
I am pretty sure, if this linked article (resp the robust algorithm behind, which is not yet published, I think) would get more attention, those annoying CAPTCHAs would vanish from the web, as they not only distracting, they are also fake security.
As if it is a joke, to enter this text I need to solve a CAPTCHA... as I said: ANNOYING!

thread_title:  Missing entry in chapter "Security"  

message: Surely, this section could further expound on the sheer difficulty of getting the reCAPTCHA system to work with browser that don't allow Google to have completely unmitigated access to scripts and cookies, which means Google will insist that the 'suspicious' user must solve an excess of 20+ reCAPTCHA challenges all in one go. At this point, Google has so severely cracked down on browser security features that I can't actually pass any reCAPTCHA challenge at all. About the only work-around would be to switch over to a very insecure Internet Explorer and allow Google (and the Web site imposing the reCAPTCHA) to do whatever it wants to my computer. The difficulty of dealing with reCAPTCHA has become such a severe hindrance that I no longer bother trying to access sites that require regular interaction with this system. I can only pray that Wikipedia never adopts reCAPTCHA as well. 75.63.209.97 (talk) 21:47, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  'Criticism' section is really understated 

message: The video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tbvxFW4UJdU&t=10 , published by Google who owns the copyright to reCAPTCHA, is licensed under CC-BY 3.0 and has an animation for reCAPTCHA which is almost identical to the fair use image here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:NoCAPTCHA_reCAPTCHA.gif. This one should be used over the fair use image, but I'm not an expert in video editing so I am unable to crop out the animation portion and convert it into a gif. 11icewing (talk) 23:29, 8 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Free reCAPTCHA animation 

message: Today, I made an edit to this article to correct some mistakes, reword some sentences and move others. I reworded the following paragraph:
"Some people were concerned when Google announced reCAPTCHA v3.0 about their privacy because of the vulnerability that people viewing the sites with reCAPTCHA v2.0 faced with the possibility of Google tracking them throughout the website as they now would have full control."
To:
"Concerns were raised regarding privacy when Google announced reCAPTCHA v3.0, as it allows Google to track users on non-Google websites."
I do not know what the original was attempting to say, so this may be incorrect. Can someone check the citation in question and reword what I have written as required? Thank you. DesertPipeline (talk) 13:04, 18 December 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  December 2020: Reworded a paragraph in a way that may be inaccurate to the source it uses 

message: Article currently says in the introduction for V2 "if the analysis of cookies and canvas rendering suggested the page was being downloaded automatically." however the linked citation does not mention canvas rendering or cookies (at least, from what I can see).
