Recaptcha had a good run but it’s time for it to die imho.

  That's nice & all, but there's no good replacement that works as well (for example against a dedicated attacker with a botnet).

    That doesn't mean it's worth using.

      Agreed, it's morphed into something a lot more evil than stopping bots. The amount of heuristics it now collects in v3 is quite something. Check for your score yourself https://recaptcha-demo.appspot.com/recaptcha-v3-request-scores.php https://recaptcha-demo.appspot.com/recaptcha-v3-request-scor...

          That's by design. Hitting the same endpoints multiple times is botty behaviour. I got 0.9 three times, then 0.7 on the fourth.

      What's your solution against a dedicated attacker?
      • rubbingalcohol 7y ago
        To be attacked.

    > for example against a dedicated attacker with a botnet Do you have experience with this? My understanding is that there's still trivial work arounds (See chrome extension "Buster") or services where you pay to have a human go through it for pennies. If somebody is targeting your site then your captcha will be useless no matter what.
