CAPTCHA is dead, meet NO-CAPTCHA by Google

[ahhming]

Google is unveiling the best answer yet. It's called No-CAPTCHA, a new approach built on a new API, and it's already been adopted by Snapchat, Wordpress and Humble Bundle, among other partners. Instead of asking users to pass a test, Google's new system pre-screens each user's behavior and filters out anyone who's easily identifiable as human. Most users will simply see a check mark — click the box and you've passed the test — while anyone marked as suspicious will be given a more elaborate test.

 

 

Google is experimenting with more mobile-friendly forms of CAPTCHA, like a test that would show you a picture of a cat and asked you to select similar photos from a grid.

The first one is used on Humble Bundle I think

[qwertywarrior]

we NEED this for TOR users its hell for them on websites that use cloudflare  (always demands captcha when entering any site)

[brownninja97]

death to captchas, but kudos to them for testing my eye sight to the max.

[Damikiller37]

Forum needs this for creating new accounts so that we can reduce the spam accounts. Not sure if possible here but would be useful and not frustrating

So it requires your full name and email address?

Fuck that.

 

Never mind that was probably just an example.

[AlexGoesHigh]

So it requires your full name and email address?

Fuck that.

where does it says that? no where in the blog says it uses that kind of info

 

edit: its in the video, didn't see before posting, well i guess it could work by sending false info, also there's a site that provides email addresses for this kind of stuff that expire in 10 minutes, don't remember the name though

Fuck that.

better then having to try and figure out what the hell that captcha is trying to say, I loath captchas

[Damikiller37]

Fuck that.

If you mean the example of a signup page in the video then... yeah that was just an example.

[dalekphalm]

Yeah I don't think that a full name and email address are required for the no-captcha system specifically. It's just an example page for when you sign up for your typical website.

Yeah you're right. I looked at the video and saw that above the reCAPTCHA button and assumed they were the same thing.

It was probably an example of a sign up page using reCAPTCHA.

 

I wonder how it works. I just tried it several times on HumbleBundle and it still asks me to type in a captcha.

[Camul]

Nah, I love Capatcha. Having to refresh it 600 times to finally get the validation word to appear is part of the fun.

[The_Evenger]

it's about time! i hate captchas.

[Colonel_Gerdauf]

I am also curious about this system. How exacly does it determine that the users are human?

 

I find the behavior pre-screening to be incredibly creepy, but then again, this is Google.

[The_Strict_Nein]

Interesting that Google develops this, but is also developing systems that will allow robots to determine cats from dogs.

Well some captcha systems work by using the "most guessed answer". A computer can actually read modern captcha's easier than a human can.

 

Like the one on the right:

 

Or even worse, this one:

 

So the "correct" answer, is often just the answer that humans guess the most often. No idea how many captcha systems use this method though.

I remember a website which used to have a bunch of shapes floating around and you used to have to do simple challenges.

Like say an elephant a horse a duck and a cat would he floating around and the question was - Click the largest.

And they worked on mobile.

That was much better then captchs and it probably was very effective since the challenges and shapes were very random.

[Kingofpants]

So how does it actually work?

From what I have seen with Google's FAQ and the video is that it is a little embedded box that you have to register your site for it and it checks how you interact with the box and uses a risk analysis program to check whether or not you were a bit

I found the question CAPTCHA's to be the best and when I mean questions I mean questions related to the site or topic at hand, you have to be knowledgeable about where you are posting/buying and have a brain to answer, not just stupid questions like how many letters are in the alphabet. For LTT you could ask who is Linus's sidekick? or something about the whole LTT group to get an account on this forum, it would keep the average spam bots and clueless trolls out and even some not so smart LTT viewes (fine by me).

The problem with this is that casual viewers may only be familiar with Linus and maybe Luke now (since his video presence has been drastically increased). Most of them may not even know who Edzel is, despite him being one of the original 3 LMG members, since he has very seldom been on camera.

 

This is unfair to the community. We are not some elitist community, nor do we wish to be. Linus has specifically stated multiple times that he wants the forums to be open and welcoming to those who may find themselves here after watching him on YouTube. You shouldn't need to pass a knowledge/lore test to join the forums. If you think that will help, I fear you are mistaken, as it will draw in arrogant users who think they know it all.

Hence the spam bots, add the question Captcha and spam bots end or are reduced to force humans having to read about the site to enter correct answer and increase LTT hit counts. So where is the problem there? Unless LTT has a vested gain in spam bots.

If you want to try it go to https://wordpress.org/support/register.php and scroll to the bottom , it's rather cool

[Snickerzz]

thats actually really old the whole pic the right pic anyways

[totjup5]

Yeah humble bundle has had this a for a while.

[Jack.EXE]

I hope captchas die soon, my eyes cant take much more.
