CAPTCHA token

[SBA]

Hi dear all, I use Zorin 17 core without any issue for a long time with chrome browser, suddenly when I try to login to a specific website and submit my credentials I receive the message "missing CAPTCHA token" I tried many possible ways such as other browser (firefox brave, or deactivating all of my extensions e.g. ghostery), I created a bootable DVD with mint and tried to login, the problem exists. The only way to login is to use my 5 years old chromebook with chrome browser.Is any other who has the same experience? Any idea how to solve it is more than welcomed.

This looks like a WebSite error.
Have you tried contacting that websites maintainer to report/resolve the issue?

Hi, thank you for taking the time to answer, I haven't reported it to the site owners I'm pretty sure they won't understand as I'm able to login e.g. from Chromebook, personally, I believe that it's a google's update regarding the captcha which currently is not supported by linux.

I believe that it's a google's update regarding the captcha which currently is not supported by linux.

If that were true, there would be a lot more websites showing this issue and a lot more people reporting it. Everything points to an issue with the specific website.

Since you mention that the owners wouldn't understand this issue, I'm guessing they didn't build the website by themselves, and instead are using some third party hosting. Often times, these services use needlessly strict security rules, such as restricting access to less common user agents:

Recommend a browser

Yeah, that is an unfortunate trend in the modern web. There's really no justification for this, as those "incompatibilities" are introduced artificially (in most cases, anyway). Changing the user agent string does a pretty good job most of the time but it's tedious to do for all browsers constantly. I only know how to change the user agent in Firefox, using an extension called Chameleon. Like @Hackgets alluded to, I also think big corporations are taking over the web for their own profit. In t…

You can use an extension to change your browser's user-agent so that your Linux machine shows up as Windows to the eyes of the web server.
