Re: Verification of being Human to log in
Greets,

The servers are under bot attacks today. We have an escalation challenge system -- the longer an attack, the harder the challenge puzzles. It starts as the checkbox and increases in complexity; when an attack ends, it resets the escalation level.

It only challenges non-logged in users, but it should, of course, allow you to complete a puzzle and continue. IE; once you've verified yourself as not-a-bot, it shouldn't re-challenge you while that session is active. Once you're logged, it should not re-challenge you. If you have direct access to your devices, my best suggestion is to not logout, but I understand not everyone can stay logged in for privacy and security reasons.

Best,
~~SM
