New people wishing to register on Skype
are currently facing a captcha that is a little too… secure.
It’s as if Microsoft wanted to scuttle their own services and didn’t seem to realize how difficult their captcha was.
You can do a captcha once … but not ten
Typically, a captcha is meant to be fairly easy to solve. Sometimes boring and slow, however, it is never meant to be a barrier to registration. Checkbox, addition, images to select or arrow to scroll, we have seen many and we have always managed to prove with pride that we are not robots.
But this time, Microsoft seems very suspicious and the latest Skype captcha is the incongruous proof: in addition to being a minimum complex to solve (two arrows, no more, no less, must point upwards), it must be done no less than ten times in a row. And if you made a mistake, you won’t know it until the cycle is over. Some Reddit users seem to claim that they took as much as 30 minutes to resolve this captcha.
It is difficult for the moment to know if Microsoft has integrated this knowingly or if it is a technical problem, but the company informed Bleeping Computer that she was “investigating” about it.
