Mr. Cohn,
may I ask what makes you an expert on my computing, to the point that you
would call me out in this thread?
I make my living professionally using computers as a part of my work.
I have no issues getting the job done, but this is how I compute rooted in
many factors.
If I do not suggest everyone should use computers as I do, why do you
feel justified in judging how I use them, never having met me, not paying
my salary, nor last time I checked living my physical experience?

The Google authenticator right now is the checkbox labeled I am not a bot. I
have had luck with JAWS and NVDA and VoiceOver with these not proceeding to the
more traditional puzzles. I believe that Karen uses a browser with no ability
to work with JavaScript, so I am surprised that she would be able to do most
activities on modern websites that use extensive CSS and JavaScript to allow
less transfer of information between computers and systems. If you want to be
fully safe at ensuring access to all, then you will need a helpdesk service
with the ability to disable authenticators on a per account basis (perhaps with
a USB dongle with a security certificate). In general security / privacy tools
don't trust the services needed by accessibility. For example, the new Firefox
versions have a logo to indicate when accessibility services are enabled with
instructions that say if you are not using a screen reader or other
accessibility application and you see this logo you might have an application
that is a security risk.
Best wishes,
Jonathan Cohn

I've been playing email tag with someone who operates a web site that uses
the picture captcha for people who sign up.
We talked about the 2-step verification method where one gets a code via text
message. He is of the opinion that this isn prone to hacks. He chose to use the
picture captcha after his site was overwhelmed with bots that created thousands
of fake accounts. He also mentioned Google Authenticator and Authy. Anyone have
experience with those?
Of late I have seen less of the captchas that uses letters and numbers and
more of the picture captchas. I see the 2-step verification still but not as
often. Due ti hearing, I've never tried the audio challenges but understand
they are no better.
I don't know where this trend will take us but no doubt it will go away. What
do you all see coming in the future? I am most interested in the accessibility
angle.
