      I’ve onboarded enough users to know that nothing yields a great sigh like having to remember your password. Only to be followed by an even heavier sigh when having to do two-factor auth. It’s quite a broken experience that is worthy true reinvention.

      Also, I think Captcha falls under the same category.

      Captchas are merely tiresome. They don't include the element of terror that passwords do.

          I think they might. There are some captchas that are almost impossible. And mixing case should be illegal. Even the "pick a crosswalk/stoplight/bridge" can be maddening.

          Even more so in places like India where people are not used to "crosswalk".

          They often do if you have visual impairment. Major accessibility barriers posed

          Idk, that one time where @brave's tracking blocker just kept Google from quite acknowledging I was human & I had been recognizing like 10 different street signs until I understood it's hopeless.

          This happens at least once a week for me, where I’m flagging bicycles or crosswalks for literally minutes. I thought maybe my ISP had pissed off Google.

          @paulg I’ve got a password manager, but woe is me to figure out if a pole supporting a stoplight is a stoplight or if a low rez bus is a van or vice versa.

          Try the audio option! It's usually faster.

          Especially tiring if you don’t remember your password and have to enter a captcha each time to try one
