Anyone else getting continued reCAPTCHA robot pop ups?

January 2024?

New thing on Etsy?
Anyone else getting lots of reCaptcha robot pop ups?

I click on them, and they keep putting up more puzzles.

I'm of the older set, wear glasses and this is a big waste of time for me, since I seem to have to click on more and more puzzles one after another.

It's getting ridiculous and is very frustrating, especially when you have lots of things to do.

How do I stop getting these?

Thanks for any advice.

@PreciousFindsMaine: Every time you go to a page protected by reCaptcha it calculates a score - if that score is below the threshold set by the hosting site (in this case Etsy) it starts the reCaptcha image cycle until Google is satisfied that you are a human.

While Google does not share its magic recipe for how it calculates your score there are some known factors: the reputation of your IP address, if you are using a VPN, what browser you are using, if your browser is blocking tracking, what extensions are on your browser, whether or not you are currently logged into Google, viruses or malware on your computer or modem, if you are using a proxy server, your search history, your cookies, etc etc etc. Sometimes it is as simple as your browser not sending enough information and that is why doing a page refresh occasionally works.

Thanks, I'll see if I can check all those things out.
I never had a problem until recently.

Much appreciated.

I only get recaptcha if my power goes out or if my system does a serious update.  I'm on Edge, have used Chrome but seldom have an issue except for what I noted above.

i work in three etsy stores....so i sometimes get the super annoying etsy captcha click on the bus or the bike or motorcycle ones....and then like fail a few times! usually....when switching between accounts ...

anywho i know what you mean...i think the ones here are harder and worse than anywhere...like its usually 3 in a row instead of just one...the pics are super small so i miss details, etc....and then theres always do electric scooters count as bikes? or motorcycles? and do you click the block with the person riding it if theres no bike in the square and further minutia !!! lol.

actually i find it quite annoying and time consuming...but for whatever reason i am not getting them as much anymore....its basically when i log into a different store, and also i have been travelling and moving
