What is CAPTCHA?
A CAPTCHA is a type of security feature used on websites and online forms to determine whether the user is a human or a computer program (often referred to as a 'bot'). The term "CAPTCHA" stands for "Completely Automated Public Turing Test To Tell Computers And Humans Apart." It is commonly used by services like Google to distinguish between humans and automated systems. There are various types of CAPTCHAs, including text-based, picture-based, and sound-based tests. Typically, you may need to choose pieces of an image or enter specific words or numbers to solve the CAPTCHA and prove you are human.
