I am getting repeated "Press and Hold" warnings to "prove" I'm not a robot. I do not have enabled and will not enable them. Please get rid of this annoyance.

This has happened to me about a dozen times today. Chrome, Windows 11, I'll get the ref id next time I see it.  Which will be in a few minutes.

There's nowhere to even click to verify.

Same thing is happening for me, multiple times a day. And, I should add, when you click the link to go to the feedback forum the forum itself auto refreshes or glitches a bunch of times - during which you can't actually enter anything or search for anything - and then the page crashes. The only way I got here is by going to the feedback forum directly and not by following the link. What the heck? So sick of this. Clearly SA is not taking this seriously given everything posted above.

OK, so now 8+ months later, what's the status of the ticket? Problem NOT fixed!!!

I can't believe this has been happening for so long. I'm about done with SA and it's only been happening to me for a couple weeks!

This has been going on for the past 6 weeks, AGAIN.  My time is valuable, why waste it continually pressing PRESS & HOLD?  Additionally, my subscriptions to various authors has stopped the email process. I have unsubscribed, then re-subscribed, to no avail. I read a post where you had to clear a users account due to bounce backs. Perhaps you could look into doing the same for me.

Why does this keep happening?  Even after I "Press and hold", it does it again.  The website is unusable.

The press and hold to confirm identity that happens on a lot of different websites I find for myself on my Android phone that it only happens in Chrome, if I use the Brave browser it doesn't happen at all so I would just highly suggest switching to the Brave browser whatever site you're on you can just copy and paste it into Brave because for general searching I tend to use Chrome because I get more search results usually with the Brave browser I just get one page plus with the Brave browser you get no ads either so it's great.

This is so ridiculous. Every article and every page requires me to verify I'm not a robot when using Firefox.

I would try using the Brave browser I get the press and hold thing a lot in Chrome but when I use the Brave browser same website I don't get it at all.
