This is just for the people who don't understand what I mean by a capture. A capture is that white invasive box that comes up with the nine squares telling you to select each square that has a traffic light into it, or the nine squares of different photos telling you to select each photo that has a car in it and they slowly disappear. That is what I'm talking about. Google's now started to get more invasive where this time, before you even get to the page where you log in. Oh, before you even loaded the website, it's telling you to do this capture where you just have to click one tick box and then it signs you in. Why must I do this? I'm, I'm even now having to do that for my uni app. Like why? It's got, it's only got my uni work on there. It's in fact, it's not for my uni work, it's for my uni portal page. Why do I need to do a capture just to see my course? And even for Canva, it's doing that. Why do I need to, why do I need to do a capture just to see the homepage?

And the issue that I have with this is, it's taking time and it's beginning to get annoying. What should just simply be a calm 10-15 minute job is now turning into 20-25 minutes because every website that you need to open is giving you this whole webpage of a captcha that you need to click one tick box for and then it now sends you to the page or you now have to log into an account and then it gives you a whole 2-step authentication thing again.

And then the problem is, these websites also have their own authentication thing as well. So on top of getting a capture to see the homepage, you're now getting another one to log into the page. I'm fine with getting a capture to sign into the account, but not every single time I want to open a webpage, I now need to get a capture for that and then get a capture to log in.

Google has this app called Authenticator where if you have two-step authentication on your computer or your Gmail account it will either ask you to get a code from that app and then type it in or it will send a message to your phone that you have to press OK on and I'm fine with that but then that is now three steps of authentication. One, to look at the web page. Two, to sign into the website and three, to get this code.

then Instagram now uses this as well, one to get into Google, two to log into Google, three to get the code for Google, four to get into Instagram, five to log into Instagram, and six to get the code for Instagram. That is six different variations of authentication that you have to go through just to log into your Instagram account. And two of that is unnecessary because you get one page of authentication just because.
