This is not my pic because I forgot to screenshot it when I did it. Microsoft has the hardest captcha I have ever had to complete. This one looks easier but I had a similar one that on my phone the images were too small, not recognizable and were more abstract looking shapes. It was so hard, I failed like 8 times (there were several 'rounds') and it almost made me second guess whether I might actually be a robot lol. Luckily, there was an audio version where you have to pick from a number of melody recordings and choose the one that was a pattern. Anyone else have trouble with this?

It's interesting in how it combines three different tests - visualization of both the targets and the field to move them in, comprehension of what the task is, and correct movement. I had to take a second to understand the whole point myself.

I forget where I heard that these are actually used to help train AI, but I don’t doubt they are somehow.

People generally already don't want a ms account, so now they're making it even harder to get one lol morons

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some services require an MS or Google sign in

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's a fair point. But I've always seen it as a choice (sign in with ms, LinkedIn, google, or fb). Which services (besides Microsoft) require a ms account?

[–] Mastersmacks@reddthat.com 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Minecraft, as I learned when my ms got hacked and their team couldn't restore my account to me for some reason

'Wouldn't', I think. Ms's customer service is abysmal on their paid services, I can only imagine how bad it is on their no-cost services. And, the thing is, they have the resources to have better customer service than Amazon gives their Prime members, but they seem to choose not to. It's strange to me.

I forget the name but I was looking for free versions of no code app builders to make a productivity app of my own and one did not have a way to sign up with any email only sign up with Google or MS. Also had to create this second MS account, triggering this captcha, originally because I was using MS designer to generate free AI images but the fast tokens run out 15 a day. So to exploit AI, I always use multiple accounts and it is an MS service. I have like 10 MS accounts now due to using up the free OneDrive storage plans.

Edit: I never connect anything to FB. Meta is the only place that knows my real name and info. (Unfortunately). I also don't have LinkedIn.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Also, with all those ms accounts tied to your IP, I can't blame them for the verification lol

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do it for all free services. Like AI where you have daily limits. I thought about VPN but I don't have the cost. It seems the only trusted free tier VPN is Proton bc they have a paid plan. I read good reviews and it didn't seem to slow down anything noticeably.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I didn't mean to sound like I disapproved at all. I'm all for what you're doing haha I've use proton's free tier. They're fine. I just don't really trust any vpn company that's based in the USA, due to their (completely understandable) requirement to keep USA data collection laws.

[–] HoneyMustardGas@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Proton is Swiss I believe.

[–] 01189998819991197253@infosec.pub 2 points 2 months ago

I do love being wrong! I'll give them another look, then

[–] Mwa@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

The only thing i use A MS account for is Minecraft And thats my only exception.

Are...are the hackers actually deterred by these...things? Are they not accessing the data in some other way?

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

it's not meant to deter hackers, but spam bots and web cralwers, and such like. Possibly also meant to stop people hitting the service as a way of breaking the service.

but mostly they want to know the person looking at it is a human so they can feed it advertisements.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I liked the captcha for the PlayStation forums (hard math problems)

worse than Roblox?
