In a recent conversation I had with a KYC implementor for mobile it came out that these "fit your head into the frame / make a gesture" prompts are indeed to get unfakable images of the user, but the real use is in the attempt to fulfil the task. The app is actually recording video and not just trying to get an image under arbitrary conditions.
It was explained to me that the full process of adjusting your phone + position within a frame is much harder to fake convincingly than a static image. Your reaction to the prompts, rather than your fulfilment, is what is valuable.
- latexr 2y agoI’ve heard (but not confirmed) that’s how some CAPTCHAs work. Clicking the right boxes is a minor metric, what they’re mostly looking for are realistic human mouse movements.
- immibis 2y agoWhat they're actually looking for is you to click the boxes slowly like an elderly person. Which is frustrating when you have to get through 1000 captchas.
- latexr 2y agoAnecdotally, with reCAPTCHA I click pretty fast and generally don’t have a problem.
- wrp 2y agoCan anyone working in the industry verify that this isn't just rumor?
- immibis 2y agoTry to automate anything that requires a CAPTCHA. do the CAPTCHAs manually. You will quickly become fast at clicking boxes. You will notice you always fail the CAPTCHA. Click them more slowly, and you stop failing the as much.
- qwery 2y ago> when you have to get through 1000 captchas Seriously, thanks for not using Google Chrome.

- gruez 2y agoThat might be what recaptcha claims, but in reality it's just based on your IP reputation, any google cookies (ie. if you're signed into google), and client fingerprinting.
