CAPTCHA tests are meant to distinguish between humans and robots. They started out years ago as disguised letters/numbers and they were difficult enough as they were back then. Now, they're incorporating boxes and you have to tick the ones that contain a subject e.g. cars, road signs and shop fronts. The 3 examples I did below came back as incorrect and it took me about 12 attempts to log into Just-Eat in the end. All I wanted to do was to track my curry that was due to be delivered in about 10 minutes time! Is there any group or body that I can go to to make a complaint? I can't complain to Just-Eat because it's a number of firms that started using this type of test all of a sudden. Surely it's grounds for discrimination too?

Surely the bog standard 2FA is the best form of security if it's just consumer computing?

Cheers guys. I'll try the audio button again when I'm in a quieter place, as I was on a bus when I last tried it and couldn't hear what it was saying.

The screenshots are clearly from a mobile but I get the same CAPTCHAs on desktop as well. I think it's just better to use 2FA for existing accounts e.g. Just-Eat, although I normally keep Just-Eat logged in. The irony was that after the 12 or so failed attempts to track my curry, there was a knock on my front door and there he was with the curry lol
