How to bypass the CAPTCHA, please?

Hello.

Am I the first one to get this, please? Any hints?

On w3m I used once a way to hijack the cookie from firefox-esr, might this be the way now?

This requires directly solving the captcha. You can't bypass it.

It could be authentication failures, which triggered CAPTCHA. Try to remove the account in your client(s) for days, wait for the cool down of CAPTCHA, then hydroxide auth again. You can also try another account when waiting for the cool down.

Not sure if this relates to the experience of hydroxide users but when my account is non-accessed for an extended period of time logging in the onion web-interface prompts a CAPTCHA challenge on occasion. So perhaps hydroxide is victim to a similar mechanism to deter brute-force.

I login to Proton using a web browser from the same IP address as hydroxide and that fixes it.
