To protect the site from automatic multiple registrations using robotic programs, so-called captchas are used. They are images of alphanumeric codes, presented in such a way that it is not easy for a computer to recognize them, but for a person it is easy.
Instructions
Step 1
Read next to the captcha what action is required from you. For example, enter one of the words (and which one), enter both words, enter a number, solve a simple mathematical example and indicate the result, tell which object is shown in the picture, read the question and type the answer to it. When registering on forums intended for communication of representatives of certain professions or hobbies, you may need to answer a specific question, for example, what is the name of the screwdriver attachment, which screws are screwed in - a bit.
Step 2
Enter your answer in the provided field. Please note that the answer validation system may be case sensitive. If it is not possible to read some characters (for example, you cannot distinguish a fancy one from a seven, or a letter b from a p), press the button next to the captcha, which shows two arc arrows forming a circle. Some captchas also have a button with a speaker icon. When Flash Player is installed, clicking on it will cause the text to be spoken using the speech synthesizer.
Step 3
If the input field is not provided, but there is a form for choosing from several options, select the one that corresponds to the correct answer to the question asked. After filling in the field or choosing an option, click the button intended for registration (its exact name depends on the type of content management system - CMS). After that, wait for the link to activate your account in the mailbox and follow it.
Step 4
Sometimes, instead of entering a captcha, you need to specify a mobile phone number, receive an incoming message, and then enter the code received in it. In this case, be careful, because after entering such a code, you may be automatically connected to a subscription service for a paid service. Perhaps one of the few services where you can be sure of this kind of fraud when registering is Gmail.
