Hi

I've come across some sites, even Google nowadays, that use re-Captchas to distinguish a human from a bot. Google even has a visual re-Captcha going.

It isn't the same TOTP like Google Authenticator, etc.

Is 1Password moving towards it? It can be a pain at the moment.

    Hi @wkleem,

    I definitely agree - those captchas can be a real pain!

    However, as you say, they are designed to help distinguish humans from bots. By that definition, captchas have been designed so that apps of various shapes and flavours can not automate the process. If 1Password could automate this (for good), then an actual bot could also figure out a way to automate the process (for evil) ... and that would make the captcha pretty useless.
