I'm getting closer to doing that. Lately, I check the box, and if I'm presented with images, I leave.
I have also trained myself to wait a few seconds before clicking the box, which seems to help assert my humanity.

- russh 8y agoYou mean my Ex-bank account.
- EpicEng 8y agoYeah I don't imagine anyone will actually do this if they actually care about what's on the other side.
- hombre_fatal 8y agoYeah, the extreme comments that we see whenever the topic of ReCaptcha comes up are especially amusing because HN uses it on its own register/login page.

- afandian 8y agoYeah it's ironic. It's more convenient to use the phone to get my balance, even if you count the time spent listening to the recorded message telling me how much better my life would be if I used Internet banking.
- airstrike 8y agoWith the Wells Fargo iOS app all I have to do is stare at the screen for Face ID to kick in and I'm in my account, no captcha needed.

I wonder how many different weird rituals are out there for 'beating' CAPTCHA? For me, I usually make some effort to keep moving my mouse and being "active" after clicking the box, on the idea that an isolated click event looks less human. It's based on a friend's tip and it seems to help, but I have no confidence that it's actually relevant in such a complex system. I sort of suspect Google has created a new generation of meaningless routines fit to rival historical standouts like sports rituals.
