It’s happening again.
Last week, I was caught by captcha. I couldn’t read and therefore failed a captcha challenge when trying to forward a blog post from within Google Reader to multiple recipients.
Just now the captcha death spiral happened again, but this time I think there’s a bug. I passed the first captcha challenge and was presented a second, but, before I could type the second captcha challenge, it disappeared from the window and a new one appeared. Ensuing was a fail spiral in which I was continuously presented with captcha challenges. After each, the one I was never provided the opportunity to pass flashed briefly onscreen then disappeared. Unable to attempt this elusive challenge, I was presented around 10 challenges in succession, interspersed with the one I wasn’t allowed to attempt.
I’m now locked out of my Google Account and cannot access Reader. The last time, this lasted most of the day.
Fail. :(
