An experiment that uses hardware security keys (like a YubiKey) to replace CAPTCHAs completely. The idea is rather simple: if a real human is sitting at their keyboard or uses their phone, they can touch their security key’s button or bring it near their phone to demonstrate that they are human.
Why should I destroy my USB slot by constantly pulling the thing out, sticking it in, wiggling with my finger and whatnot?
I have a FIDO2 USB dongle, but I rarely use it. Sonetimes I use the TPM or fTPM of my mainboard. If people used password managers, they wouldn’t need these hardware tokens. Apart from the fact you can only store a very limited amount of keys with limited encryption algorithms on them, and I bet the marketing industry finds a way to track you through them.
Doesn’t the idea of needing a piece of hardware for every CAPTCHA seem even worse? They claim that’s going to take 5 seconds?
