I've been playing email tag with someone who operates a web site
that uses the picture captcha for people who sign up.
We talked about the 2-step verification method where one gets a code
via text message. He is of the opinion that this isn prone to hacks. He
chose to use the picture captcha after his site was overwhelmed with
bots that created thousands of fake accounts. He also mentioned Google
Authenticator and Authy. Anyone have experience with those?
Of late I have seen less of the captchas that uses letters and
numbers and more of the picture captchas. I see the 2-step verification
still but not as often. Due ti hearing, I've never tried the audio
challenges but understand they are no better.
I don't know where this trend will take us but no doubt it will go
away. What do you all see coming in the future? I am most interested in
the accessibility angle.
