CAPTCHA does not directly check the user's web history. However, some CAPTCHA implementations may use browser fingerprints or other data available to the website to determine the user's identity and assess their risk level.

reCAPTCHA will alert screen readers of status changes, such as when the reCAPTCHA verification challenge is complete. The status can also be found by looking for the heading titled “recaptcha status” in the “recaptcha widget” section of the page. See reCAPTCHA ARIA Status Messages for more information.

One way you can prevent CAPTCHAs is to choose a VPN that offers dedicated IPs. When you get a dedicated IP, no one else has access to the IP. This prevents CAPTCHAs because it removes the red flag of your IP constantly changing and performing multiple simultaneous requests.

reCAPTCHA support

Unfortunately it may happen to good users like you for a few reasons: You may be on a shared network that is being used abusively. Your internet service provider may have recently assigned you a suspicious IP address. The site you are trying to access may be currently under heavy attack.

What triggers reCAPTCHA? ReCAPTCHA v3 uses a concept called “actions” to identify real traffic from bot traffic. It's a tag that lets you define key steps in your user journey, so the reCAPTCHA technology can learn what regular users do when compared to bot traffic.

Several factors can contribute to reCAPTCHA identifying you as a potential or suspected robot: Suspicious Behavior: If your interactions on the platform resemble automated or bot-like patterns, such as rapid form submissions or repeated login attempts, the system may flag them as suspicious.

What triggers a CAPTCHA test? Some web properties just automatically have CAPTCHAs in place as a proactive defense against bots. Other times, a test may be triggered if user behavior seems to resemble a bot's behavior: if users request webpages or click hyperlinks at a far higher rate than average, for instance.

This system is actually called CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart). It is a computing test to determine if the user is human.

CAPTCHAs risks can contribute to client-side attacks

In addition to the issues associated with user frustration and disengagement, CAPTCHA technology can also contribute to client-side website attacks.

Check your Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Restart your device, and then try reCAPTCHA again. Use an updated and supported browser, such as: Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Chromium Edge. Disable any VPNs or proxy services, as this can affect your connection.

Note: reCAPTCHA tokens expire after two minutes.

1) Try again later and restart the computer. 2) Make sure the browser is up to date. 3) Use another internet browser like Firefox, Opera, & etc. 4) Use another computer --or-- turn on/off the modem with a brand new IP address.

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.

Google reCAPTCHA may block you because of a high number of requests from your network, which can be because you're on a public network or using any VPN/Proxy services. Try disabling your VPN/Proxy service or resetting your IP address to solve the issue.

This message is usually due to a temporary network issue and can be resolved by refreshing your browser. It also might be caused due to accessing the offering through a virtual network.
