You know, I'm now regularly running into CAPTCHAs when logging into my Google accounts that I cannot solve.

Have you noticed this?

They've gotten harder.

Yes.

They're twisting the letters more.

Yes.

And they're pressing them closer together.

Have you seen the ones where you have to, like, rotate the, like, object into the same direction as the sort of example? That one I like because I can still do that one.

Yes.

But some of them are like, factor this quadratic equation.

No, I'm routinely in this situation.

It happens a lot to me on threads.

I'll see like a link to a story I want to read and I'll open it and it'll be like the Washington Post or something and they'll be like, well, you need to log in. And in order to do that, I need to, I log into the post through Google, but so now I have to log into my Google account, which has two-factor authentication. Okay. So now I have to open up my one password, right? And then Google is going to and a notification to another app that I have to go open and grab a number that I bring back

that I put in. So I go through all of this drama, and then it's like, and now solve an impossible captcha. And it was like, I just wanted to read a six-paragraph story about like something that happened at SpaceX or whatever.

Yeah.

And it can't be done anymore.

So what one password, whatever you used to do, it's not working anymore, figure it out.

Yeah, if only it were one password.

It should literally.

Now it's six fingerprints and a pass key and, you know, solve a math problem.

The genuine name for one password these days

should be 15 steps.
