How Important Is The Passcode!

Posted by death by captcha on February 1st, 2021

Have you ever tried to solve a captcha security question? For those of you not familiar, a captcha is a four-digit code used to determine if a user is human or not. It is a way to make logging into a site more difficult and users have to spend a little time trying again if they do not get the right answer. This helps ensure that only humans can log in to a site while also decreasing the amount of spam on the site.

Why the change?

Well, Google has decided that it is time to make their search results a little less random and more user-friendly. So how does it do this?

Easy: by requiring a 2captcha security feature on all of their web pages. This requires users to enter a four-digit code that they are prompted to guess. If the guess is correct, the page is opened, otherwise it displays an error message. Obviously, this increases the site's risk of having its contents accessed by spammers, which in turn can decrease visitors. Thus, Google implemented this measure in an effort to keep their users safe.

What does this mean to me?

Currently, I am not seeing any changes to my Google pages. As long as my regular searches for videos, music, and news continue to bring me fresh content, I have not noticed any changes. However, there could be a new feature arriving soon that will make my site a little less appealing to spammers.

What is going to happen?

I am not sure, but I have heard rumblings in the search engine community that Google is considering implementing this new security feature. While no specifics have been given, I am assuming it involves the submission of a captcha code. There is always a chance it could involve something completely different, but the possibilities seem slim now.

Will I still get my fair share of hits when using YouTube?

Currently, YouTube receives over one billion views per month! I am guessing that if Google can increase its success ratio with other high traffic sites, it can do the same for you! The only way to know for sure is to find out for yourself. The same can be said for social networking sites like Facebook: it is impossible to say whether they will become a force in the online community without some testing.

Will there be any other changes to the way I promote my site?

Since I do not own the site, I am not able to test anything new. However, if I were to start promoting it as I did the old site;I am guessing I would receive a fair share of hits. I am not alone in assuming this will be part of the new anti-captcha security change. This feature will likely open up discussions about the future of this site, including its future methods of securing its content.

Will I lose my account?

If my original password were compromised, it would be a sad end to a fantastic year of blogging. I have my old passwords and accounts set up, so I do not think it would be a loss. I do, however, recommend changing your user name and resetting your password. I have heard of people having trouble resetting their passwords in the past, but it does happen sometimes!

What are the possible threats to my computer?

The only threats I can think of right now relate to viruses and spyware. Although both of those are very serious threats, they are not high on the list. Viruses can cause some major problems for you, such as shutting down your entire computer system until you can fix it. Spyware can be less damaging, but it can also install tracking software, which could track your online activities. With the advent of captcha security, neither of those are even remotely possible!

Will my site ever disappear?

 It does not happen often, but we can all dream. One of our goals is to build a strong brand presence that stays long term. With the constantly changing face of the internet, it's becoming more difficult to maintain a consistent brand presence. Even with captcha security, if someone can figure out your site (and they have the skills), it could be a while before your site comes back online. We want our fans to come back!

Is this enough?

No! Do not forget that we want to support our growing community of writers and artists who are making wonderful Internet art. Please consider adding the anti captchaapisecurity feature to your page to give your audience further protection against hackers and malware. Your new feature will give you an identity on the page and it will be much easier for fans to get in touch with you!
