i would not be so quick to blame the admittaturs as it is happening to many big websites that are far larger than this one. prople are complaining over on AR15 for example
"Good lord....it's annoying!! But I guess it's getting more and more necessary with all the hackers/AI trying to get peoples info...maybe?
For example....I need to ship a package via UPS this morning. So I need to log into my Pirate Ship account.
Step 1: Go to Pirate Ship, Type my login and password in.
Step 2: Check the box that pops up that says "Yes, I am human".
Step 3: Play a couple of those "select the squares containing stop signs" type puzzles.
Step 4: Once I complete those, it asks me to enter the 6 digit code Pirate Ship is going to email my Outlook email address.
Step 5: Login to outlook with email address and password.
Step 6: Outlook needs you to enter in my Gmail email address for verification.
Step 7: Outlook then emails me a 6 digit code to my Gmail email address.
Step 8: Login to Gmail
Step 9: Gmail sends a notification to my cell phone, and I need to click on it saying "Yes it's me"
Step 10: Get on Gmail, find the 6 digit code needed for outlook.
Step 11: Go to Outlook, enter in the 6 digit code in order to access email.
Step 12: Get 6 digit code from outlook that Pirate Ship sent
Step 13: Go to Pirate Ship, enter in 6 digit code to finish logging in.
And now I can create a shipping label using Pirate Ship.
Good lord.....what a pain in the a$$ !!!!
