Security Issue

[Gorilla]

Good Evening all,

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I am getting aggravated. After much tweaking with my ISBoxer setup, I was finally running tests in IF on target dummies. During this time, I logged out and back in several times. I began to get a series of photos that I had to type in what was written on them to prove I was not a robot. My first question is, am I doing something wrong to trigger this, because I have the Blizzard App on my phone, and it is not asking me to prove it is me. Am I the only person having this issue, or have I missed other posts with these issues.

Sincerely,

Gorilla

The WoW client is giving you captcha security questions?

There is a CAPTCHA thing implemented. From what I understand it was to stop bots in PvP and shown to some people before entering battlegrounds. But I may be wrong and it is implemented everywhere.

I have never seen it, searching the blizzard forums comes up with a few posts about it though.

There is a Captcha on logon and also the auction house amongst other places. If you use an authenticator you normally don't get the logon one, although you sometimes have to re-authenticate. There is a process to minimize the authenticator process (http://www.dual-boxing.com/threads/52888-Battle-net-Changes-and-Authenticator-multi-account).

The logon one tends to popup if you do frequent logons over and over, and with multiple accounts, because it is behaviour seen with automation (ie. botting), so the captcha is to make sure you are there.
