neb:rb99:Is that using a Google account or Google captcha tech? The latter is particularly insidious, they've convinced vast numbers of sites to use this fabulous free service *cough*Geekzone*cough* which means you need to enable Google-sourced Javascript on each site you log onto so they can harvest everything about every site you use enough to have an account there.
This 'Sign in with Google' thing I seem to e getting stuck with more and more recently.
Its this rubbish, just appeared in the last few days -

Oh, that's not that uncommon, replacing the previous Sign in with Facebook everywhere. Just ignore it and rejoice in giving the finger to Google.

As you may have already learn from previous replies above, no it's not the captcha, but the "Login with".
About captcha, I have a few very specific use cases:
- Avoid spam via contact form
- Prevent credential stuffing in our login page
- Prevent visitors spaming people by entering email addresses in our registration page
- Identify possible automated visits to prevent click fraud
- Prevent undesired bots from accessing our pages and unnecessary system load
This is one of many different things we use to prevent those things from happening. I run the code in all pages because reCAPTCHA v3 is not a "YES/NO" robot thing but a suspicious score. Below you see the amount of traffic that could be malicious - not necessarily bots:
Loading data from our database into Power BI I can see things like the average score for one's account, on different browser types, country or IP address:
As per our privacy policy, all this data is used to keep our platform safe.
