Well, he did manage to....captcha your attention.
Eh? Eh?

I must admit i have only seen it once, but I do keep my GOG cookies. I know of one case where keeping the cookies did avoid the recapture.
BUT, it might also have to do with the 2 step feature, maybe you only get the recaptcha if you don't have(had) it?
Might also explain differences there.
Can you even log in more than once? Never tried though.

FYI, I have 2 step enabled and GOG cookies stored.

As I said before, I am not getting captcha (even if I delete cookies on the browser), so I am wondering what is triggering it for you, especially repeatedly?

I'm just guessing that it is triggered if:

- You have created an account and logging into it the very first time (nothing to do with cookies, anymore).
- There are several (failed?) login attempts into your account.

But I presume neither of these apply in your case...

Also, are you saying the captcha is too hard to solve, or you are sure you got it right yet it keeps telling you to do it again? Back when I did get the captcha, I didn't have much problems solving it. I'd fail it maybe 1 time out of 10. Must be because I don't have any implants in me, neither silicon nor silicone.

Oh, what do you know? Shut up and sit down. You can't possibly judge her unless you're Dutch as w-
...
......oh.

Before you get mad again, remember that you DID bring this upon yourself by mentioning it first.
Just throwing that out there for the record.

Wait, what? Thanks for the heads up, I missed that. I need to find the way to opt out right now, fuck that shit.

I've been working on a new coffee-flavored variety! With a hint of lime.
They sent the info out via email. Probably not the best way to do it, but...such is GOG's communication.

On a serious note: I used to read CAPTCHA as Got'cha. You know gotta catch 'm all.

Now I think it might be how a foreigner would try to pronounce Kappa

As an American, I've got to say, it feels really weird to see somebody other than an American use the word "foreigner". I'm not even sure who that refers to when you say it.

That used to be the case a week or two ago when GOG made the captcha appear more often. That caused problems to many, e.g. with gogrepo.py tool you couldn't use the "login" option anymore to get valid login cookies, but you had to import the cookies from a browser for gogrepo (you had to do this only once though, once you have valid login cookies you can repeatedly use them from there on).

However, GOG seemed to silently change it back (due to all the complaints I presume). At least for me gogrepo.py login command works fine again, and I don't get captcha even though Firefox clears cookies automatically.

No I don't think so, I just tested it and as far as I can tell having the 2-step verification enabled or disabled doesn't trigger captcha, at least I am not seeing it.

A long time ago I recall getting captcha when I was testing something with my account, repeatedly logging in and out of my account many times in short time. Then I suddenly got the captcha IIRC.

EDIT: Or it might have been that I was testing the two-step authentication actually, to see in which cases GOG sends you an email of someone trying to log in to your two-step auth enabled account. So I actually repeatedly tried to log in both with wrong password, and the right password, to see when I get those emails. So it might be it was the wrong password entries that triggered captcha (which would make sense to me, to stop brute-force attempts to crack accounts).

Thanks for the link. I guess I should be happy the notification wasn't just a tweet.

Huh? Someone who is not from the same country as the one saying it, of course.

E.g. Senteria most probably calls all non-Dutch people foreigners, while I call all non-Finns furriners. That includes also e.g. Swedes and Americans.

Depending on their database they use, they could use deltas. Like delta in how often is the IP being changed, if above this delta -> trigger captcha. (they could even combine IPs for it, like you use ONLY two)
Successful login attempts....hmmm....that would really surprise me, unless they do it really out of customer care and set there a delta as well. Might be even an attempt to prevent those problems with the downvoting bots and/or hacking.

So yes, they might have moved (or as your tests shows) away from the cookies and captcha connection.

And silently is the best way of testing for this ;) This way you catch everyone by surprise and have an untainted reference pool ;)

Oops, I meant non-english speakers. I could say non-native english speakers but I'm a non-native english speaker as well.

....that'd technically still be "Kappa" since it's a Japanese word.
Now all I can imagine is some Japanese dude looking at this thread and laughing at the whole lot of us.
