What's with the obnoxious captcha? #111

It takes 3 screens and 20-30 seconds. People usually don't use robots to log into their gaming platforms, and even if they did, who cares? None of my other integrations have captchas, but if you are going to use one, why not use the simple checkmark one?

The captcha system implemented by Rockstar is outside of my control. They put the system in place in an attempt to allow only log-ins from actual users, rather than just a program sending a POST request.

With that said, I do notice that it takes an absurdly long time to complete the captcha. On a high level, this would mean that the captcha system is suspicious as to whether or not this is a real user, so it goes through multiple runs to ensure that they are indeed human. I am not sure as to what would actually trigger this check. (Perhaps it is an outdated User-Agent header being sent?)

The Rockstar captcha is set to be ridiculously suspicious of anyone. I get similarly ridiculous Captchas on the social club website and the Rockstar launcher itself. It is actually insane. I don't think there's much you can do to get past it.

@Fireprufe15 - Thanks for the confirmation.
