Signing into the Forum

KittySoftPaws — Sat, 16 Aug 2025 12:46:10 GMT

Signing in this morning, and for the first time I am prompted with a box to check that I am not a Robot. Never thought that I would live to see the day when a Computer would ask me if I was a Robot, to basically verify I am a Human before letting me proceed. Oh, the irony. Yes, I have seen these before, but first time here. I just find it both hilarious and bizzare, but here we are.

@KittySoftPaws Hasn't happened to me here...yet. Double verification is becomong so common. I have to do it on my banking sites, but what could possibly be so "risky info" here?

Signing into the Forums does not require Two-Step Verification. The other poster is confusing that with what the OP is talking about in this thread.

I haven't encountered that yet, but it sounds like they're trying to cut down or eliminate the spam posts that have been increasing here lately.

I've gotten yay a few times lately. Nothing new. And yes @geezerette I believe that's what they're trying to do-- cut down on spammers and potential hacks.

I get that box a couple times a month. No, I'm still mostly human.

@Shanus Double verification makes sense IF you have a credit card on file. It's one more piece of information for thieves.

Oh man, I hate those! And they make all the photos so tiny and blurry I can't tell what is in any of them! 😖

Sometimes they have to move me on the bicycles. Sad that I can fail at this too 🤪

What is really annoying is when I login on my laptop or desktop and a code is sent to my cellphone. . . which is in my car or downstairs. . .

ROFL!! @KittySoftPaws I get it. Your take on this "~robot checks for human, non-robot" scenario is a hoot!
