  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

It's actually checking your mouse movement to see if it looks natural or robotic. You can get a few wrong and it'll still pass you.

How does that work with touchscreens though? Since you arent dragging your mouse across the screen. Does it then fully fall back on the pictures?

It might fall back on the actual images in that instance. Captchas are a lot more advanced now. The ones where you just click “I am not a robot” use cookies to track your browser history and make sure it looks organic. Identifying images alone has gotten too easy.

Oh is that why there's no shift click ability?
