Hi All,

As promised, the new captcha system is finally finished!

Now, multiple devices are tracked independently, and on each you will have to answer a captcha once per week, assuming you have JS enabled. If you don't have JS enabled, you will get a captcha every login. Most (99%) of people should have JS enabled, so that should not be a problem.

As an example:

05:00 Login to computer : captcha
06:00 Login to phone : captcha
07:00 Login to computer : NO captcha
08:00 Login to phone : NO captcha
09:00 Login at work: captcha
10:00 Login to phone: NO captcha
12:00 Login at work: NO captcha

...

6 days later, same 3 devices, NO captcha


Then, on the 7th day, you will get prompted for a captcha IF YOU ARE NOT BEING ATTACKED (last 150 seconds)! If you *are* being attacked, you will get prompted the next day, on the 8th day, whether or not you're being attacked. However, as long as you have JS enabled, you'll be allowed to click the Delay 8 hours button *ONCE*.


Hopefully this will alleviate some of the captcha issues for some people, while still having a significant speedbump for bots & babysitting scripts.
