AW login - no Turing test

[timsussex]

Just logged onto AW with just user name and password no annoying 4 letter Turing test - Hooray !

[Blackpool Rock]

Yeah I just had that too, thought there was a problem and i'd be rejected but I also see there is a banner in the top right which has been there a few days about issues with payments so suspect AW are just having technical issues and expect the Turing code to be back soon   

[timsussex]

Banner was there a few days ago

Does this test really defeat a determined computer programmer ?

It's a simple test to determine if you are a human or a bot. I don't think AI has yet evolved to read an on screen question and input the answer, but who knows?

[mrwhite]

Wait till the bots find out.... are we going to have another of those epic DDOS that happened before the test was introduced.

Perhaps because I'm stupid or 300 years old or computer illiterate I constantly find my attempts to log onto AW thwarted/   

[signy]

The four-letter test seems to have been replaced by a Captcha sustem (run by Google). Every few logins (but not all) you will get a test to tick visual boxes that include some feature (mostly to do with motoring: cars, bikes, traffic lights, etc.).

Same as used by national newspapers, amongst others.

I find it oddly amusing that a computer is asking us to prove that we're  not a computer.

Isn't it just.  I find the pictures sometimes quite difficult to discern the nature of the detail required. That may the whole point of that system but, frankly, the letters many of us have to deal with for years have themselves become a bit easier.

AW don't want Computers booking escorts? Seems discriminatory to me

At least add the extra memory.

I used chatgpt to book a punt this morning.
English, in her 20s, £100ph, no extras, gfe, incall within 15 miles, available today.

Pause.

26 options appeared. All under 78,000 miles taxed and insured, rental by the hour/day/weekend.

Changed the word escort to sex worker. Resubmitted.
Pause.

Be grateful it's not one of those that ask to identify traffic lights, trains, aeroplanes, cars, fire hydrants, stairs, mountains, cows, etc.

On a small screen you've got little chance of getting it right, and zooming in just blurs the images.

Probably why when I tried to log in today I could not as the captcha didn't load and I got an error about an incorrect session. Time to upgrade my browser.

[adenmc4]

Seems to be back to Captcha again now

[big-al93]

Seems to be back to Captcha again now

Had Captcha earlier, but it's back to the 4 letter turing test again now.

[adenmc4]

I meant back to Turing letters again doh

[ZeroCount]

I had the image captcha once, then no test at all for a while, now it seems to be random whether it's the 4-letter thing or nothing. It's certainly a relief not to have to mess around with it every time, particularly since they've chosen to implement such a rapid timeout for logins.

[webpunter]

A few times it was password only, took me a few times to realise no code
Had google picture mullarkey today
Took about 3 goes coz pedestrian crossings to be ticked & on my selections computer says no
Recently i also had the email verification bollox, cheeky f*****s

[webpunter]

Just had a pop up tab come up on google, with username & p/w boxes for completing
Which doesnt work
So had to cancel & do the usual login, no letters in the box needed

[globewindsailor]

Looks like the turning test is a goner which means I can't log in now. I'll need to use another browser for AW. Annoying.

I noticed I couldn’t get in either, despite putting in correct username & password. I tend to access the desktop site on my smartphone so tried using the mobile site and the Turing test was still there and I managed to get in. From there I could then switch back to the ‘main site’ and it kept me logged in

Trying to work out now if I can access the mobile site on a desktop lol. I googled the error message about session credentials and there are lots of threads here on the message saying clear your cookies etc and it will work. It didn't.

Worked it out. Go to External Link/Members Only
Login they go in the same tab to the normal site.

Has anyone else had a small popup window asking for username & password? I got it once but now its back to the usual.

I've had it a couple of times, but you can ignore it and still get access.

Yes but only when using a link to a WGs profile, like one that would be in a review on this site... that's the only time I've seen it happen so far

On recent visits the AW letter captcha has been missing. Brilliant, I think.

Today they want me to click on pictures with cars, fucking hell they are going backwards.

But I worry this is a precursor to age verification - knowing how these APIs work, perhaps they have had to integrate with a service that has images as the non-age check version which will later become a credit card check ...

Tho no issues logging in
Thought i would share 

[ZeroCount]

Yeah, that message freaked me out for a minute. They normally don't resort to full page messages on login like that, just a little note on the title bar normally does the trick, so I thought for a moment there was a problem with my account or something.

I was very briefly thinking the same

[tynetunnel]

I had my first “click all the boxes with traffic lights” captcha earlier when logging in to AW
