I checked at least 200 captcha entries without finding one readable one.

create/update my account. This whole fiasco suggests that the concept of
"heat" in Launchpad bugs needs to be reevaluated. Bugs need to be easy

This says so much about both Canonical and the open source development
community... a piece of software that is front and center to the (new,
especially) user experience has a flaw which prevents a very visible
piece of functionality from being accessible, and it is left unfixed and
unaddressed
I think this signup trick is made so that people can't login or create
any account because it is real confusing. You are given a try and
nothing you can achieve as it says the captcha doesnt match. I think
