#Protonmail (whose microblogging presence is limited to Elon Musk’s assets) has become quite a burden in the past couple yrs. #Hydroxide is broken, thus pushing us to use the web client (because #Electronmail is broken too), and the web client periodically pushes a CAPTCHA. So it’s a game of trying to login as infrequently as possible, yet if too much time passes your acct is dead.
What if I supply account creds to login to #protonmail, which is then followed by a #CAPTCHA… if I walk at that point instead of solving the CAPTCHA will the “last login” clock at least be reset or does the dormancy risk continue increasing? #askFedi
#Protonmail punishes #Tor users with a broken “rate limited” CAPTCHA, so we’re fucked to a large extent. Once protonmail starts pushing a CAPTCHA you can never login again (not even days later) until you solve the CAPTCHA. The rate limit of #hCAPTCHA can potentially continue until your account is locked due to dormancy. It’s a total show-stopper for using Protonmail.
@bojkotiMalbona Are you using the onion URL?
https://mail.protonmailrmez3lotccipshtkleegetolb73fuirgj7r4o4vfu7ozyd.onion/
@modrobert sometimes. I don’t recall getting the captcha on the onion, so i guess the clearnet site should be avoided.
@bojkotiMalbona Yes, they probably filter the Tor exit nodes for CAPTCHA on the clearnet site, because a lot of abuse come from those IP addresses.
@modrobert For the record, I can confirm that #Protonmail pushes an #hCAPTCHA from their onion server. I have an account held hostage by this #CAPTCHA now.
