That's 2FA and captcha's and the reason they're so big now is because it's for training AI.

It's annoying the 2FA but slowly being implemented by all...

They're wasting money on new kind of captcha coding - nonsense.

I was half joking about AI training but I have seen people claiming that older Google captchas were used to help train some of the earlier image models.


I'm not a fan of needing to link a phone number to online accounts for them to work but it's kind of a necessary evil when money's involved.
