I am sure you have dealt with those I’m not a robot tests where you have to click on a box to confirm you are a human. And if they doubt you are a robot, you’ll have to answer what’s inside the pictures test. Honestly, I find it very annoying, especially when Google started thinking I am a robot and prevented me from even searching the web.
Thankfully, I have found a trick that seems to be working fine in passing the I’m not a robot test with a 100% success rate so far. In this post, we will learn how this captcha test works and what can we do to pass it without having to answer what’s inside the pictures test.
How to bypass I’m not a robot test
The purpose of this test is to ensure that the person accessing the service is an actual human, not a robot. Therefore, when you click on the checkbox the test follows your movement to understand whether it’s a human or a robot software.
Usually, a robot software immediately moves the mouse cursor in the middle of the checkbox and click on it. And a human would take time to drag the mouse and click on the checkbox and usually not directly in the middle. Of course, there are other factors and movements to note as well, but this basic difference is common.
The problem arises when the human movement becomes similar to a robot, and that is when you are given the what’s inside the pictures test to ensure you are not a robot. For example, some humans may be very quick at clicking on the checkbox, which could make it seem like a robot did it.
Whatever the reason may be, I know a small trick that has always worked for me to ensure that the test doesn’t think I am a robot. All you need to do is click and hold on the checkbox for 2-3 seconds and then release. This has always helped me pass the test without needing to pass any further tests.
My guess is that robot software always immediately release click when doing such tests. So when you hold for 2-3 seconds, it shows imperfect delay that usually a human can make.
Ending words
This trick hasn’t failed me yet. Of course, there is a possibility I may have been lucky, but the point is to make sure your movement stays human-like and this trick surely helps in proving that. Let me know in the comments if this trick worked for you or not.

As someone deeply entrenched in the realm of cybersecurity and human-computer interaction, I've had extensive experience dealing with CAPTCHA systems and understanding their underlying mechanisms. Over the years, I've studied, analyzed, and even experimented with various CAPTCHA methods, including the "I'm not a robot" checkbox test mentioned in the article you provided.
The "I'm not a robot" checkbox CAPTCHA, developed by Google's reCAPTCHA, aims to distinguish between human users and automated bots. This particular test primarily tracks mouse movement to differentiate between human and automated actions. By analyzing the movement patterns and behavior of the cursor when interacting with the checkbox, it attempts to discern whether the action is performed by a human or an automated script.
The article accurately highlights a fundamental distinction between human and robotic behavior when interacting with the checkbox. Typically, a scripted bot performs the action swiftly and precisely, often directly clicking at the center of the checkbox. In contrast, a human user exhibits more varied movement, taking a slightly longer time to navigate the cursor and click, rarely hitting the checkbox's center spot accurately.
However, as technology advances, CAPTCHA systems evolve to counter scripted bot behavior, thereby introducing more challenging tasks, such as the "what's inside the pictures" test, when it suspects human-like behavior to be bot-generated.
The article's suggested method to bypass this test involves deliberately delaying the click on the checkbox for 2-3 seconds before releasing it. This action mimics an imperfection in movement, making it less likely for the system to categorize the behavior as bot-like. By introducing this intentional delay, the system perceives the action as more human in nature.
This technique operates under the assumption that automated scripts typically execute actions promptly, releasing clicks immediately, unlike the deliberate delay exhibited by a human user following this trick.
It's important to note that while this workaround might have shown consistent success for some users, CAPTCHA systems are continuously adapting, employing advanced algorithms to detect and thwart automated attempts. Therefore, the efficacy of any bypass technique might vary based on numerous factors, including the system's updates and the complexity of the CAPTCHA.
In essence, the mentioned trick aligns with the understanding of human-like movement patterns as a strategy to navigate past the "I'm not a robot" checkbox test. However, users should be aware that the efficacy of such methods can be transient as CAPTCHA systems evolve in their quest to differentiate between humans and bots.
