I am getting sick and tired of this feature. It's making my life difficult. I get fed up of clicking on step that are not stairs, mountain that are not hills, cross walks we don't have them in the UK only Ped Xings. Traffic signals and the posts, cars and then stupid fire hydrants which we don't have either. Americanisms gone mad,. Get rid of it VM or I'm off!
Oh yes the dreaded reCaptcha
It's a test designed to tell human and bots apart. Supposedly It is easy for humans to solve, but hard for “bots” and other malicious software to figure out. Funnily enough after reading your post I have just spent a few minutes trying to trigger reCaptcha by repeatedly logging in and out of my VM account but it would not cut in. I guess it could easily tell I was only human after all. 🙄
If you do decide to stick with VM, when reCaptcha rears its head again you might try taking the audio challenge instead of the visual one.
When you get the familiar screen with all the images, click on the
symbol and you just have to key in the numbers that are read out. There are slightly different versions depending on whether you are using a mobile device or a laptop/desktop but the process is the same for both and (in my view) it is much simpler than the "click on all ....." test.
