thoughts on hCaptcha accessibility?

so sometimes you wanna visit a website very frequently, or you wanna sign into an account but forgot your stuff. The Chances of getting stopped by the Are you human?" thing are neither high nor low... On some captcha's you'll get visual and audio challenges. But with the ones that cloudflare has... Lets just say, it uses a service that, if the challenge is impossible, you would have to obtain an accessibility cooky that will let you bypass the captcha (which half the time won't really work???) Not to mention you would have to select these challenge images that have squares. And such, anyways, any thoughts on this? (I also at one point had to go through the same thing in 2023 when trying to sign into my discord)

Garbage, just had the issue yesterday. Didn't work on FireFox at all so had to switch to fucking Edge to retrieve the cookie. Oh and it's obvious they didn't get my real E-Mail.

HCaptcha is literally, in a word, bullshit. The fact that you have to give out your phone number/email to get a so-called accessibility cookie (which might not even work) is, quite frankly, horrendous. I heard of one blind person who tried to use this and was banned from the service because their tech wasn't cooperating, and HCaptcha, in their responses to this person when said person attempted to reach out and resolve the issue, basically said "Oh, sucks for you. Shouldn't have fucked up then!"

Good they offer accessibility support at a basic level but also every other captcha company does 10x better, so I'm disappointed. The checkboxes you are used to have been there since probably 2021 or earlier so it is more than about time.

I remember signing up for Discord and the utter nightmare of H CAPTCHA, so yeah, terrible technology!
Curiosity killed the poor kitty, but I'm tough!

I tried to sign up for an account on a music website called ZZounds.com, and I couldn't even get passed the HCaptcha thing. Tried to get the accessibility cookie and everything...nope. So I've given them the virtual middle finger.

I'm stuck in not being able to get my funds because eBay is stuck behind HCap. It's an utter mess and super dumb that you have to give them your email for a cookie that won't even work on anything!

The problem with the cookies is that anyone can get them. also bots

Yeah, I wish that worked. Unfortunately, it didn't.

Bruh, sometimes I will be trying to visit a website and tthey have a captcha and it will just have this fricking slider thingee where you have to slide it to the correct visual or whatever the frick, it is so fricking annoying aspecially when you want to just check the website. I understand the point of captchas, but at the same time I whish they would fricking think harder about accessibility.
