No, a human does not have access to your password.
For the purposes of machine learning we can do something like this: as a request passes through us see if it's a POST to /wp-admin or similar, see if the response is 200 or 302 (which would tell us if the login worked or not). All that's done by code not people. Use that as a label "good login" or "bad login" and then see if there are lots of "bad login" events for certain characteristics and use that to predict what's a bot.
- penagwin 8y agoMakes sense, thanks for replying! A lot of companies don't communicate much, it's refreshing to have the CTO reply with a real response.
- jgrahamc 8y ago:-) I have code that detects any mention of Cloudflare on HN and emails me directly. Latency is a few seconds from post to email. Thanks for being a customer.

- RKearney 8y agoCloudFlare acts as a reverse proxy. They would terminate any HTTPS connections meaning they still have access to the request and response.
