Whups. (smiles) Let's get back on track here, Karen. Let's take a
more practical approach to this issue as blind/visually impaired users.
Like Captcha Be Gone, or Rumola. If I am not mistaken, neither of these
will handle what I believe are known as re-Captcha. Are you aware of any
blind friendly solutions?

Mr. Cohn,
may I ask what makes you an expert on my computing, to the point that
you would call me out in this thread?
I make my living professionally using computers as a part of my work.
I have no issues getting the job done, but this is how I compute rooted
in many factors.
If I do not suggest everyone should use computers as I do, why do you
feel justified in judging how I use them, never having met me, not
paying my salary, nor last time I checked living my physical experience?

The Google authenticator right now is the checkbox labeled I am not a
bot. I have had luck with JAWS and NVDA and VoiceOver with these not
proceeding to the more traditional puzzles. I believe that Karen
uses a browser with no ability to work with JavaScript, so I am
surprised that she would be able to do most activities on modern
websites that use extensive CSS and JavaScript to allow less transfer
of information between computers and systems. If you want to be fully
safe at ensuring access to all, then you will need a helpdesk service
with the ability to disable authenticators on a per account basis
(perhaps with a USB dongle with a security certificate). In general
security / privacy tools don't trust the services needed by
accessibility. For example, the new Firefox versions have a logo to
indicate when accessibility services are enabled with instructions
that say if you are not using a screen reader or other accessibility
application and you see this logo you might have an application that
is a security risk.
Best wishes,

I've been playing email tag with someone who operates a web site
that uses the picture captcha for people who sign up.
We talked about the 2-step verification method where one gets a
code via text message. He is of the opinion that this isn prone to
hacks. He chose to use the picture captcha after his site was
overwhelmed with bots that created thousands of fake accounts. He
also mentioned Google Authenticator and Authy. Anyone have
experience with those?
Of late I have seen less of the captchas that uses letters and
numbers and more of the picture captchas. I see the 2-step
verification still but not as often. Due ti hearing, I've never
tried the audio challenges but understand they are no better.
I don't know where this trend will take us but no doubt it will go
away. What do you all see coming in the future? I am most interested
in the accessibility angle.
