Do any blind people use Protonmail despite the CAPTCHAs?
I’m not blind but I browse with images disabled. This means I can no longer login to Protonmail because they push CAPTCHAs. I know some CAPTCHAs have an audio option but I just get a blank box from Protonmail’s CAPTCHA. So I was wondering how blind people deal with that, or if they are simply excluded from using #Protonmail.
You're viewing a single thread.
They use captchas? I've never seen one!
Ah, well then I would guess you’re not using Tor and perhaps Protonmail is discriminating against Tor users. I used to access protonmail’s clearnet site over Tor and got the CAPTCHAs. Then started using PM’s onion service (in fact I was told the onion service avoided CAPTCHAs) but in fact it still gets CAPTCHAs.
I'm indeed not using Tor. I have never seen a captcha.
@ObviouslyNotBanana @main I saw one while signing up. So I didn’t even complete sign up. I don’t trust a company that uses inaccessible CAPTCHAs with my email.
Were you not able to skip it?
They announced their accessible captchas on Mastodon and I was skeptical, but it looks like it’s working OK.
@MostlyBlindGamer I was not. They probably require do not track to be off or something.
Right, privacy or accessibility: pick one. It kind of suddenly worked for me. They do have a support form link in there.
