We use reCaptchas to help keep the site and your account safe. They’re tests to tell if a user is human rather than a robot. You will normally be asked to select images containing a certain object.
If you have any problems loading a reCaptcha, or one freezes, please try the following steps.
Check you’ve completed the test
If you’re not sure of the answer, use the refresh button (a circle with an arrow) to get a new question.
Make sure you’re connected to wifi or mobile data
A slow connection can make a reCaptcha freeze or not work properly. Once you’ve checked your connection, reload the page and try again.
Restart your browser
Close your browser, restart it and return to the page you were on.
Shut down any extensions running on your browser
Some browser extensions can affect how a page works. You can find out if any are running by checking the settings on your browser. Once you’ve deactivated them, restart your browser and return to the page.
Clear your cookies and cache
Some technical issues can be solved by clearing your cookies and cache. Once you have done this, restart you browser and try the reCAPTCHA again.
Restart your device
Once your device has restarted, load the page with the reCaptcha again.
Make sure you’re using a supported browser
reCaptcha doesn’t work with some older versions of browsers. Follow the link for your browser to find details on how to update it:
Turn off your VPN
Having a VPN (Virtual Private Network) running on your device can interfere with your connection. Turn it off and try the reCaptcha again.
