[RFC] Multiple CAPTCHAs

Post by MichaelC »

A system in which would have a number of ACP CAPTCHA options:
  • Show all enabled CAPTCHAs on the registration page (Therefore they can enable say two CAPTCHAs and the user has to solve both).
    • Sub-option (Checkbox only appears with this method) - Only show an additional CAPTCHA if the user fails it x times.
  • Randomly show one of the enabled CAPTCHAs (Therefore it would randomly pick one of the enabled CAPTCHAs and the user then has to solve it. They can choose to refresh the same CAPTCHA plugin or get another random plugin).
  • Both. It shows x CAPTCHAs which will be random (Requires 3 or more enabled CAPTCHAs)
While some bots can crack Q&A. Some can crack reCAPTCHA and some can even crack games. How many could solve multiple CAPTCHAs at the same time?

I would be very put off by a website if it required me to perform multiple captcha's just to register or guest post.
