What was that all about!?

I log in and was required to go through the old capture process identifying hydrants and motor bikes to prove I'm not a robot.  Having succeeded I'm then taken to my profile dashboard before I'm able to select 'forums'.  Weird.

@morgan, since the beginning of the year, we've upgraded the security on the backend of the site. This week, there has been a significant increase in nefarious activity, so the system has tightened its security net, which has more than likely resulted in the "not a robot" check.

I never switch off the main computers which are used for external/internet communications.
They might have the screen locked, or the memory put into Suspend, but the processors are still alive.
It's very rare that I ever get asked to log back in to the Forum.

Even when I've downloaded browser upgrades, which require Firefox to be restarted, all the Forum tabs are recovered and I can usually continue without logging in.

Sometimes I've continued using the Forum for a month without having to re-enter a password.

Nothing I'm doing since the change of platform has indicated that the Forum is in any heightened state of security.
The system seems to offer me a surprisingly wide range of trust. 🤔 

... which is odd... because I am a robot

@transparent you're squeaky clean 🤣 

You've touched on interesting point though. It seems that Firefox and Chrome are also more "robust" and dare I say it "trustworthy". I occasionally get Morgan's robot scenario when using Safari, but never when on Chrome.

I think that level of security is called parental controls.

It's like my mother used to say "Never trust a man with an old Mac" 🙄

@transparent I’m a 76 year young old man with 10 Macs., iMacs, iPads, iPhones and an Apple Watch altogether in our house, I don’t stand a chance of a login do I? 😉

Chrome is far from trustworthy. Just look at some of the stunts Google have pulled with it and some they are accused of still pulling. It just has a sufficiently big market share that no-one wants to upset that many clueless users at once and have to deal with the support requests.

It's now doing it every time I visit the site.  Tedious.

@editor Strangely enough…. I can login, read and comment on the forum, go away for a while then comeback; at such times, I may or may not be asked to login again. I cannot determine if there is a default time before I am required to login again or not; when I do login again, I can ignore the request about proving I am a human and still login again without a problem. iPad using Safari browser. Regards, Toodles.
