Google is bringing a new CAPTCHA system, now you will have to prove that you are a human being by scanning the QR code, no longer a photo.
Google New QR Code CAPTCHA: Earlier, while using the internet, almost every user had to write the CAPTCHA ‘I’m not a robot’. But this system has been completely changed. Google is now testing a new QR Code based reCAPTCHA system which will be used to identify whether the person visiting the website is a human or a bot. It has been said in the reports that AI technology has now become so advanced that it is able to crack the old CAPTCHA system. This is the reason why Google is now introducing a new and smarter verification system.
Now no photo puzzle, just have to scan QR code
In some screenshots that have surfaced online regarding this new rule, it is seen that in the new system the user is not being given any difficulties like image puzzle or identifying traffic light. Instead, people are being asked to just scan the QR Code from the phone. As soon as the user scans the QR Code, his phone communicates with Google through Google Play Services. After this the system will decide whether a real person has visited the website or not. With this new step of Google, the work process of the users is being made easier, but with the arrival of this new rule, some new problems have also started emerging.
Increased tension regarding privacy
Now privacy experts are also raising questions regarding the QR based CAPTCHA system. In which he says that this system can directly connect the user’s web activity to his phone or Google account whether the user is logged in to Chrome or not. In view of this, some users on Reddit, citing Google’s support page, said that for this feature, it will be necessary to have updated Google Play Services in the Android device.

It may prove costly for those with old phones.
It is being told in the information that those users who have old Android phones or such devices which do not have Google Services, they will not be able to use this new system. Which simply means that if any website implements QR based reCAPTCHA then it will be difficult for many users to access that site. The thing to know in this is that more than 50 lakh companies around the world are already using Google reCAPTCHA. In this era of AI and cyber security, it has become interesting for people to know whether this new experiment of Google is good for internet security or not. So that users will consider it a convenience or a new threat to privacy. This will be known only in the coming time.
