For the record, the one I meant are the second solving: sometimes recaptcha ask you one (I believe it is genuine), and then after you succeed it ask again with another set of picture (sometimes another question), which I believe is for training.
I have it semi-regularly (like once or twice a week); but I also have some automated tooling using my account AND I travel quite often so location testing probably flag we as weird.
Remember that the original recaptcha also did that with text to help train OCR (it would send a known word and a unknown word, if you succeeded at the known word it would record the answer for the unknown one, and after enough people gave the same one train it as the proper OCR'ed text).
- jobigoud 8y ago"second solving"? I've sometimes been asked ten times in a row to click on the shop fronts or traffic light tiles.
- saagarjha 8y agoI feel that this depends on how fingerprintable your browser is. Signed in to Chrome? You’ll likely see nothing. But logged out and using Safari’s Private Browsing? You will likely have to do it multiple times.
- Izkata 8y agoI have the feeling this is also configurable somewhere. A few months ago, my bank added the image-clicking one to its login screen. I've always gotten past that one on the first attempt. But with the same profile on the same Firefox, all other sites always take multiple tries.
- unilynx 8y agoThe 'owner' of the recaptcha API key can set a slider on a scale from "Easiest for users (some security features turned off)" to "Most secure (all security features turned on)"
- darkpuma 8y agoGoogle allows website operators to configure how sensitive they want v2 or v3 to be, but in practice it makes little difference. The only apparent effect on v2 is that the least sensitive setting permits the use of the noscript version. The least sensitive setting of v2 will still harshly hassle and punish users who aren't in compliance with google, unless they use the noscript version. Then and only then, it lets people through for correct answers every time.
