Re: Captcha for Square login Sucks
Whatever the perk is for Square to be using cheesy CAPTCHA; it doesn't add a fraction of the security that other solutions provide. To your point and user experience another question: Why does Square need to know your location at the time of login?
Action:
It's time the Square team addresses the community input. Everyone is tired of training CAPTCHA; if their technology was any good they'd know... what a fire hytrant looked like by now.
Allow me to frame the ridiculousness of Square.com using the cheesiest app like CAPTCHA as a security solution:
Square is a premiere accounting, billing, and banking service which offers onsite devices allowing merchants to immediately complete online transactions with customers. Typically banks and those top payment systems competing with Square, have a fraction of Square's offerings.
Yet those payment systems use effective identity solutions like:
- Asking 1 or 2 security questions after the login.
Or
- Sending a token to an email or associated contact number. These are the types of solutions Square could and should deploy. Not only for their merchants; it would be an upgrade to their brand. Think about that, why would Square risk their brand & be associated with old security technology from 22 years ago?
