PayPal needs personal info to sign up for
Google services sometimes need phone verification to sign up for
Now compare that to Roblox, that has the signup API publicly available, and needs only an username, a password and a birthday.

I think this form of captcha should be removed. It recently took me 5 tries just to get into a group (25 rotations I went through) ā not exactly an ideal user experience haha.

Not to forget the fact, most of captcha systems pop up if you either have almost none or no cookies and similar, or if you have a ton of them. Consider the fact a child might either be on some device with restrictions and might so the browser reset the cookies etc. for child safety. On other side, those ones who go in every website and accept all cookies, will have the same problem. And yeah, I agree that the captcha you got is really hard
This is insane, Iāve had to retry it over ten times and I still canāt figure it out, most of the ones that are or could be ten have darts directly in the middle of the lines. Me being someone who can usually easily breeze through these, Iām scared to see how much more impossible these are going to become.

Adding on, funcaptcha just released a new, impossible captcha.
Iāve gotten this wrong four times already and it goes from 6 levels to 9 levels.
The numbers on the cards are sometimes covered by the other card and itās super hard to tell if they are matching. Sometimes, the numbers are different, like one of the card has 6 on the top and 9 on the bottom, it covers another card so you can only see the 6 on the other card. That means the card could either be a 6 9 or a 6 6.
I keep refreshing, refreshing, refreshingā¦
Now it gives me multi-number addition problems with hard-to-see dice, 6 levels, and a 10 second completion time. Thereās nothing āFunā about funcaptcha. Itās literal torture.

Just my 2 cents: I recently discovered about CGNATs (Carrier-Grade NAT), which puts a lot of users in a ISP under a single shared IP, theyāre only identifiable by source port at a given time by the ISP itself, which could mean it works like a VPN. If FunCatcha, I donāt really know if it does, would use IP as a factor to stop bots, then a malicious user in that ISP could spam the captcha and all the other users could be punished, there wouldnāt really be a way for FunCaptcha to stop it, since it has no way to identify users at a deeper level.
I think it could really help if the users that have a problem, posted if they have CGNAT or not, and optionally how many times they have logged in the past with that browser (for cookies?). Example:
CGNAT:YES
LOGINS:5
REUSAGE:7 (Optional)
How do I know if I have CGNAT?
You can do tracert roblox.com in the command prompt, for example, then check if any IPs that show there, besides the first row, fall in the 100.64.0.0ā100.127.255.255 range (Shared address space). Do not post the output in the forum, it can have your own IP.
Alternatively, google āip.bieringer cgn testā, switch to HTTP, do:
āTest supported protocolsā,
āStart initial testā,
āStart normal testā,
you may repeat the test if you want to be sure then post your reusage (in yellow). (A reusage bigger than 0 is a good sign you have CGNAT)

Seriously takes me a good minute to figure this one out. I canāt imagine what itās like for kids and colorblind.

Iām aware that there are 347 replies saying the same thing and yet I feel the need to express how laughably bad this system is. I always have to spend a good couple minutes trying to get these right.
Perhaps the approach with these new captchas is simply to eliminate bots by making it impossible to make an account in the first place?

For some reason, I donāt get captchas when I go incognito on chrome, been happening from few weeks.
this issue has been getting worseā¦
Can we NOT have captcha for users with 2FA?
I donāt think a Bot farm would set up 2FA for their bot accountsā¦

This has also been happening to me a lot too. The location you are logging in from might be a cause of it because I tried logging in from another country and it gets really really hard.
It takes a very long time to figure these out sometimes, and taking longer just makes the amount you have to do a lot more.
In this picture, this may be very hard for people who might be colorblind, but Iām not too sure how it would look, but this is even hard for me to see.
Before the new clothing update, bots needed premium to upload clothing
help me.
I was trying to get into my account and a new math FunCaptcha appeared.
It literally gives me 5 seconds to look at and solve the problems before saying āYou ran out of time!ā

I canāt imagine what the look on Robloxās younger targeted audience is because this is infuriating.
Robloxās community has had terrible experiences with Arkose Labsā captchas. Will there ever be a day where it stops?
When the bot situation gets under control. Thatās the whole reason Roblox used Arkose labs. But, as Roblox tries to stop it, there are still people who bypass it. And I think at this point, Roblox needs to use an API key type system. Just to see where the requests are, and if they are like joining games and what they are saying in the games.
Roblox has been using Cookies for a long time, but (as far as I know) there isnāt really any tracking to see where those requests are going. I donāt know if you played any popular games recently, but there are bots that go in game with a gibberish name (h1hfu18gbah (not real)) and send fake system messages by sending a message like āNice weather weāre havingā then on a nother line it would say something like ā{System} Your friend bought Robux from scam.siteā. And another resaon is, iirc, some people found a way to bypass Google but I donāt know about that.
Roblox doesnt want to switch from funcaptcha because google actually charges a service fee when a large company uses it, however its free for small developers.
Funcaptcha is probably the same order of cost, itās not free either. I doubt any motivation for one or the other is related to the cost. I recommend not presenting personal takes as facts.

sorry that i couldnt find much information on funcaptcha, but google charges a service fee for any website that has more than 1 million captcha queries per month, so it would make sense for roblox to cut the corner and choose funcaptcha and maybe they had a closet deal
I once got logged out of my account for days! I hope Roblox deals with this soon
I doubt this is the case. I see no reason for Roblox using a captcha system that keeps bots in and humans out when it is free to not have such a system.
