    For the love of all that is holy in this world... If you're going to implement Captcha, the most vile creation some dark and twisted soul ever dreamed of, at least give it a refresh option so I can find one I can actually read...

    Is that x a capital? What that heck is that scribble there... Ughh.

    I appreciate extra security, but just sayin...

    Please?

    Takes me three attempts to login now because I get them wrong. That said I'd rather this than the alternative.

    Yeah, it literally took me 6 attempts this last time. There were some I had absolutely no idea what the characters where and I just had to hit login to get the failure so I could get another captcha I couldn't read. This is not unique to SotA, it's captcha in general. Some sites have implemented a refresh though so you can get a new one until you find one you think you can read.

    Tried and it seems not to be case sensitive at least...

    Oh, ok, I thought it was case sensitive. I guess that means my eyes are even worse than I thought they were then :confused:

    Rather have 2FA through Google Authentication than this current CAPTCHA. Really hard to read and I already have bad eyesight

    Not sure why they're not using the new recaptcha that doesn't use this older method...

    yeah... I like the new recaptcha... it will only punish you with serious checking if your action is somewhat suspicious or different from normal... if not then it will only ask you to click a check box... LOL

    I would agree. This random letter number thing is a pain in the ass.

    I'm an advocate for no authenticator, but I would take an authenticator over this crap any day. At least I can read the Authenticator!

    Sorry I hadn't used that page to login to my account for a while now and didn't know about the Captcha addition to the page. But here is the thing. I just login to my account without using it. Have you tried that or did I just get lucky somehow?
