Captchas are really so annoying but they are required for security. It shows that you are a real human being and not a robot.

And it helps train the Google AI to identify traffic lights and other things which is good for our future

Captcha for me is not so annoying as long as it won't take much of my time. But I have this experience of having too much surveys to answer under Captcha and this made give up.

In these days most of sites are using captcha. Some sites wants only time but some site wants many time to complete captcha. It is time consuming.

I really hate encountering Captchas, especially when they are images, because when my internet connection is slow, it tells me to reload again. But, I still understand that it's for the safety of the sites and your account as well.

Why are some sites employing captcha? I have been to some sites with annoying captchas and had requested time and again to remove such but the admin said it is to guard the site against spammers.

Is there a way to do away with captcha?

Yes, there is another option called Cloudflare. Sites using Cloudflare doesn't need captcha.

Not the case at all. While Cloudflare will reduce the amount of bad traffic hitting your site, ALOT will still be successful and without CAPTCHA, you will have a lot of clearing up to do.

Bad traffic? Or Bot Traffic?

[CyberFreak]

Well the kinda the same thing. Excluding a few good bots, most bots are pointless, abusive/bad bots which in turn is bad traffic. Cloudflare reduces the amount of bad traffic which includes bots that generate spam aswell as bots that find vulnerabilities in sites and other bad things aswell as some real people that are connecting from/through compromised devices etc.

I guess it's meant to thwart robots from accessing the sites..I think its also used to rid the site of spammers too

Maryland Universty successful manage solve Google Captch using Google free tool "text to speech". They were successful in 85%.

I am using one video watch site. Here after every 2 or 3 video I have to complete Captchas. Video is of 10 seconds but Captchas is taking more time than it.

Captcha doesn't help very often. For example many bots don't use Javascript at all and most popular captchas are Javascript based etc.
You can find another protection option.

There is no way of doing away with them if they have been put there by the admin. They are annoying but very helpul in keeping away the spammers.

It can help in keeping away spammers? I thought only keep away the bots?

There is a huge lie that says its to avoid hackets, bots and cheaters. They just use that excuse to increase the clickrate and typerate of the site. Thats why sometimes even if you answered a captcha correctly they will tell you that you are wrong.

Does this mean that captcha is not for security purpose? Can captcha deny a not access ?

[augusta]

This is mostly for identifications and to stop spamming especially by attackers and hackers. Though some can be very annoying but it's benefits way outweigh it stress.

Hackers can still be able to solve the captcha , so how does it stop them ?

[Ourella]

I believe it is better to make some kind of hidden captcha, or to use something really user-friendly. Captcha is a powerful tool to protect from bots, trolls, and even flamers and haters sometimes, but when it looks like something really ugly, it destroys the whole thing, the whole impression of the site design. Besides, sometimes it is better to use some really interesting types of captcha, like exercises on multiplication, dividing, puzzles, riddles, etc. It makes the atmosphere on any kind of forum more pleasant, joyful, inspiring and repels bots and trolls.

Answering a captha is always requested. Not all captchas are up front. Some sites only use a captcha on the back-end when something suspicious is detected. For example have you ever typed in your password wrong by mistake? It happens millions if not billions of times per day. On some sites you will have to solve a captcha if your password is incorrect.
