Your captcha system absolutely sucks

[theWILLdog]

While resetting my password, I had to go through dozens of freaking captcha tests in order to request a PW reset email. Terrible implementation. I suspect you're using it to train AI. Stop wasting our time.

Curious. I'm usually the one getting thrown all the Captchas due to having hardened my stuff, but never on steam. Did you request the mail through the client or the website? Were you accessing them from any abuse-heavy IP or were you sending "weird" user-agent strings?

Messaggio originale di GhostBear:

Is it still G****s captcha? then Yes. It's because its for AI training and data collection.

Valve needs to make their own.

Big G no longer uses Captchas to train AI. reCaptcha, later acquired by them, used this to help transcribe/OCR scanned books, but text-only captchas are hardly used anymore, at least by high-profile sites that have something to lose.

Making an own, 2023-proof captcha is much harder than you might think though, and given that OP somehow got past it, that's probably still better than simply locking out legitimate users.

I have to admit some of them I can't even read. I get the purpose of them but don't make them so annoying to fill out.

Captchas are the real ♥♥♥♥ show in this platform. GG valve. Hope you see this and do something about it.

by far the hardest game on here and I love a good challenge, but a bit repetitive and I never got past level one

Good job Steam. I just tried to make an account for my daughter and buy her a couple of games but I couldn't because your captcha locks us out.

If you're going to run a store, try leaving the door unlocked. Or at least have someone standing around to open it. How many thousands of customers do you think this bug has turned away over the MANY months you have had this problem? Ridiculous.

Nevermind, I'll head over to GOG.

The captcha nonsense has been going on for months, it seems no one is looking at this.

Trying to set up an account for my son on his new pc. We cannot figure this out. We have no browser extensions and are not using a VPN. Any updates on this?

Messaggio originale di PaulKrawitz:

Am I the only one who never gets captchas for some reason?

No, but you don't if you're not resetting passwords or setting up new accounts.

[hearts]

so bad man I can't set up a account for brother both of us can't figure it out with those 240p pictures

I started playing console more in part because of this awful system. The almighty Steam really isn't all that great as far I'm concerned. Between that and horrible moderation and lack of consistency in the hubs it's a horrible service.

From time to time I visit https://recaptcha.sucks/ and google never asks me to identify images for a few month.
IDK if it's really related but I search "recaptcha sucks" on google and click on plenty of links and they don't bother me for a while....
