Cloudflare is planning on retiring CAPTCHA with hardware security keys. This concerns me from a privacy standpoint, because no more anonymity at all. As it stands now we still have anonymity though not much online. Shoot what about journalist or whistle blowers? How are we going to protect them from big brother? https://www.techspot.com/news/89692-cloudflare-wants-kill-captcha-using-hardware-security-keys.html
Here is what's funny (NOT!). In the comment section, only ONE(!) person informed - was concerned - about that EGREGIOUS PRIVACY breach/violation, while others were so HAPPY() to be perfectly identified by the INTERNET SPIES.
Here's a better solution "Tired of Boring CAPTCHAs, This Developer Created a Doom-Themed One Forget clicking on crosswalks or trucks in a grid. A web developer in Spain created a CAPTCHA test featuring a short and simple Doom game to prove that you're human... The developer, Miquel Camps Orteza, uploaded his creation to his GitHub page. To prove you’re a human, and not a bot, the test asks you to shoot four “imps” from Doom using a handgun. What ensues is a simple, but fun mini-game. There are no moving sprites; the monsters and background are rendered in static 2D images. Nevertheless, the CAPTCHA test is loaded with the game's music and gunshot sound effects to help recreate the feel of playing the original Doom. If you gun down all four imps in the time allotted, you’ll pass the test. If not, play again. Try it below. (Note: The music is loud, but it will stop once you solve the puzzle.)..." https://in.pcmag.com/games/142844/tired-of-boring-captchas-this-developer-created-a-doom-themed-one Try the "Doom CAPTCHA": https://vivirenremoto.github.io/doomcaptcha/
I like the manner in which bitcointalk dot org handles my accounts. After enduring the CAPTCHA stuff and making it into your account you can click on a request to generate an exact SPECIFIC link for your account as a login link. You save this link (its unique to you and is very long and securely composed) and for all future sessions you use that link to login to your account. Of course you still need username and password but NO more captchas. I am always on TOR and those captcha's really get OLD. This solves the issue and is secure. Love it!!
You know whats even sadder is that TechSpot appears to be only site talking about this. I retract that. There other sites talking about this such as ZDnet
