How do I get rid of I am not a robot CAPTCHA? ›

CAPTCHAs are used at the sign up process to prevent spammers from using a “bot” to generate hundreds of spam mail accounts.

The “I'm not a robot” checkbox is a CAPTCHA, or a “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to Tell Computers and Humans Apart.” Essentially any type of test, whether it's selecting the image with stoplights or typing out a word that's blurry, is a CAPTCHA, which is used to stop bots.

An alternate form of CAPTCHA human authentication that requires a person to click a check box next to a graphic that says "I Am Not a Robot. It may not be all that difficult to program a bot that recognizes this image and programmatically selects the check box.

So, suppose there no problem on my IP right if both of other browser pass the cloudfare checking. That means it's a browser issue, that is your browser is not sending enough important data to tell the system it's a legit user. Instead the system think it's a bot or spam to try to stop you with captcha.

Suddenly using the browser from a location in another area could prompt a CAPTCHA if you don't clear your history before connecting to the VPN. When you visit websites without a VPN, your search engine stores temporary files that can divulge the IP address you regularly access your accounts from.

It's not actually the act of clicking “I'm not a robot” that confirms you're not a bot. It's what happens before you click it. “When you click on that checkbox, the site sends back a bunch of information to Google,” John Lloyd, chief technology officer of Casaba Security, told Reader's Digest.

Google has explained it by saying that CAPTCHA can be triggered by an automated process sometimes caused by spambots, infected computers, email worms, or SEO tools. You simply need to verify it by entering the characters or clicking the correct image, and you are done.

Does I'm not a robot check your history? ›

As the BBC's QI revealed, ticking the little box is actually letting the site check things like your internet browsing history to determine whether you're a real person or not. "Ticking the box is not the point. It's how you behaved before you ticked the box that is analysed," Sandi Toksvig explained to the panel.

The purpose of “I'm not a robot” is to stop spams that may have been created by a human being to spam out something against a website/services; Instagram is a good example for many fake accounts we have all noticed or so they say that is what it is for?…

Google interprets that your IP address / device sends multiple search requests at the same time (this creates a suspicious effect on the search engine). With CAPTCHA, Google makes sure that you are not a robot or a computer program that sends multiple requests for search or spam.

Delete the browsing history

If you're constantly prompted to fill in text or image captchas during searches, clearing your browsing history may help. Google relies on cookies to detect bots and automated software, so clearing your browsing history and cookies could resolve the issue.
