iOS 16 Feature for Bypassing CAPTCHAs Will Soon Work With Many More Websites

Ehm, excuse me, doesn't this defies the CHAPTA's purpose entirely?
If a device can do it autonomously the "verify you're human" thing won't do the trick anymore.
I wonder the repercussions of this.

There are already loopholes. If you’re logged in to a Google account that Google considers to be a human, they often don’t even show up. I think this is something similar.

This feature will come in handy when trying to buy limited highly coveted sneakers. Thank you Apple.

Is that actually something you ran into or you found it online?

99% of captchas I see and can only imagine most as well, are Google’s captchas. So imagine the average user won’t see much of any less captchas unless google supports this as well but also is able to support it with existing captchas. If developers have to setup a new one, than will be forever until most day to day sites update and many never well. Here’s for hoping google updates it’s existing captchas but not holding my breath.

Sooner its available to use the better.

Like security measures but CAPTCHA can waste so much time even going to a website previously visited on the same IP

This is one feature only iOS can do

 

[ProfessionalFan]

If this works, it is the best feature ever

You spend most of your day telling a robot that you’re not a robot. Think about that for two minutes and tell me you don’t want to walk into the ocean.

I don’t know if I like this. Thanks to CAPTCHAs, I feel like that I’ve become quite a nautical expert. I’ve become quite keen on identifying various types of boats.

This^ is in addition to automatically inserting those verification codes via iMessage are the quality of life improvements we like Apple to bring to market

So... it's a bot that can bypass CAPTCHA, authenticate as a human and prove its not a... bot...
Nice.
Maybe that poor Google engineer was onto something after all!

In all seriousness though let's roll this out across the web/on the desktop. It's long past time for CAPTCHA to die.
(I don't even care if it's an imperfect solution, CAPTCHA is honestly worse than nothing at all. It annoys and harms actual users while doing very little, if anything, to deter dedicated botters with even moderate expertise and means at their disposal)

This isn't a bot that fills out captchas for you. It's an alternative means to verify a user is real person. Web developers wishing to opt into this can use this system as an alternative way to verify that a real human is on the other end, vs using a captcha.

All robots approve this move

Robots will take over the world.🤖🤖 I welcome our robotic overlords. Note to self: start saying, "Please" and "Thank you" to Siri, Alexa and Cortana from now on. Who knows, the Robot Overlord might spare me for being polite.😁

CAPTCHA is the most annoying security feature. I can’t believe companies actually pay to use that, as makes a horrible customer experience. So many better ways to authenticate users.

This is a game changer... and CloudFlare is a BAMF

 

[zapmymac]

That is funny but I think it’s actually part of the test. A human should know to exclude that part.

I always include it 🤔 proper training of skynet

I'm aware.
That was... supposed to be a joke but I guess I should've added a /s or something

I usually include it and still pass though

 

[allseeingi’s]

Always made me 🤣 that a human has to prove they are not a robot 😁

 

[allseeingi’s]

Hmmm having to prove to AI that I am not a robot always made me 🤣

 

[BeefCake 15]

Reminds of the tweet where this girl said the car dealership had her check off that she's not a robot with a pen on their paperwork...

 

[Complex757]

Good because that draw a box over the biggest cat or airplane means instant L for me

well it transfers the responsibility onto Apple, and the iCloud account. Apple can either block bot accounts or identify a rating of likelihood the iCloud account is a bot (similar to the ranking Captures generate), you as an iCloud user just don't have to do anything more than providing the link to your account (via logged in device, and/or facial/fingerprint recognition)

Completely depends on your personality type. I am extremely thorough and detail oriented, and will often notice things that other people miss. Makes me a decent engineer at times, but also makes me a crappy captcha solver. I often try to turn down my brain and just glance at captchas to make myself less computer-like.

One person got really peeved when a captcha asked him to point out all of the motorcycles in the image when in fact, they were motorized scooters!

I do not see this option under Privacy and Security on my iPhone 13.
