Am I the only one that has issues with reading the CAPTCHA for the store login?

[Theodrid]

As I'm no longer a young man and blame myself for failings like being unable to read the captcha this thread makes me happy. Yes, I have some issues with it, yes, it makes me sweary and yes one keyboard suffered a horrific death because of captcha though that wasn't the Frontier one.

No, the god damn log in is beyond ridiculous of late.

The kicker is, FD are useless with their web site, BEYOND compare!

Why is this even a thing? Why a captcha upon login? I understand that it may be necessary for account creation, but I don't even know a single site where you always need a captcha for every login. Like, Google requires one only after multiple failed login attempts, but not right from the start.

I absolutely hate the store captcha. It usually takes me at least three times before I manage to get it right. If they feel they need a captcha there, they should really use Google's reCaptcha system, it's by far the most user-friendly I've encountered, and it's really easy to implement.

if I had a nickel for every time I've failed a captcha...

I agree there - If I log in "cold" to my account. However, IIRC I can be in Outfitting, hit the Purchase from store option in Livery, and then get straight into what I want to buy, and use Paypal to check out. No Captcha. At least that is what I recall recently when I bought my nameplates.

I'm pretty sure that uses the Steam store rather than the direct Frontier store, which is why it works so much better/

I just logged in fine using the Captcha.

Probably because it was easy though. Lol "9TED".

It was 4 letters for me also. Normally I hate capt has, right down to their stupid name. I often get them wrong, wonder what that says about my humanity and begin having an internal rant to myself.

Edit: Captain Has? Who's he??

HALLELUJAH!

Thank you Frontier for listening. The Captcha is now much better.

I just noticed the captcha is now way easier. I'll never not see a street sign again.

Thank you FD.

I don't think I struggle to work out the captchas but it always seems to take 2 or 3 attempts before I can log in.

Maybe I'm just being arrogant but it always seems like they're easy to read so I can only assume that the app-thing, itself, isn't working properly.

 

[Asadaine]

That infernal captcha mocks my creeping senility every time.

Nerf it, nerf it, nerf it....

 

[Aussiedroid]

It's how Captcha make their money isn't it?

or

How Frontier loose customers perhaps lol?

I'm not on Steam though.....

Same here, not on steam but I use in game link to buy stuff.

 

[DCLXVI your God]

I'm guessing it's something wrong with the store captcha.
It being hard to read, I usually take time to make sure it is correct.
But still it often comes up as wrong.
