Catchpa too obscure

Post by English Guy »

Hi. Phone died, took me a while to get to the right password.

When I ran out of attempts and had to use the catchpa I found it enormously frustrating. Letters were ambiguous or unrecognisable. It was unclear whether some were letters or numbers. I am all in favour of security but (not wishing to seem ungrateful) this feels flawed?

I got there in the end but it made the process a whole lot worse not knowing if the catchpa or password had failed.

Yeah, it sucks, but AFAIK it's just what phpbb provides... if you ever need your account reset LMK.
