My main beef with Captcha is that it disadvantages those investors who may have a visual or motor coordination impairment.
Not sure what the solution is though.

Click the headphones icon, then press play and you'll be read some numbers. Type them in, click verify.

I've never been able to buy anything without a captcha (and often two of them). I use W10 and edge browser. Can I do anything to limit the number of times I have to solve these things?
Seems no hope for the slow fingered amongst us anyway.

I was caught out yesterday when I didn't get a recaptcha: I sat there waiting for it like a numpty. Too late I realised that, for once, I wasn't being accused of being a robot... loan part gone! Can't win either way!

Have come online after the new loans went life to try pick up pieces being sold and I reckon I've had about 20 recaptcha things in a row, not a chance of getting anything  |

I just had a thought. I assume bots get crapchta right every time.........so, as soon as you logon .......choose to buy anything available and just get the puzzle wrong on purpose a few times just get to Google to 'realize' you are just a dumb mortal.......you might get a few 'free passes'

I've never yet had a puzzle-free purchase on the SM. Often two puzzles.
Is there any way to delete google history so that you appear to be a newcomer?

Different browsers have different success rates, I use FF mostly and usually get a handful of free passes. I'm also usually signed into a google based email account (the one I give out for collecting spam) so that might help too.

I use 2 browsers and find FF with no ad-block seems to work better than Chrome with, I get more free go's anyway!

IIRC Google doesn't aggregate across multiple browsers, so you can get X free goes on each .. certainly when I'm getting recaptcha all the time on IE, opening FF or Chrome gives me several free goes before that starts asking too.
