Anyone else getting this utterly ridiculous dice security challenge on login? Count the dice that show 14 on their face? like 7 times before you can login..

DAFT!!!

And of course paypal don't want you to lodge a complaint so they send you here for a winge. Well here it is, a winge. i need a wambulance.

I totally agree, the number of options per quiz, the growing number of attemps (starts at five then grows to ten) is absolutely ridiculous, not to mention a bot could totally beat it anyway.

Totally ridiculous...I have to login multiple times a day and it's taking WAAAAAAAAAY too long. Looking for alternatives already, can't continue like this. Beyond ridiculous, like ridi-ridi-ridi-ridiculous

I totally agree! Such a waste of time! This is ridiculous. Whoever thought of this must be a game addict or something to come up with this security feature. Out of all the security features that one can think of, you'll be given one that's going to waste your time!

 

Update: Even submitting a reply here, you'll need to solve a captcha. Honestly, what kind of crap are they thinking?!!!

The security challenge asks you to match the dice with same symbol facing upwards and then shows you 6/8 options, none of which show matching symbols facing upwards. I not a stupid person, but it took me several tries to get it to show me a selection where the upward facing die had the same symbol. PayPal please CHECK your programme on this. You will notice its taking people much longer to log in,  so how much will we take before we leave and close our accounts.  Some people are colour blind or dyslexic , so cannot see certain colours or see things differently,  so have your designers taken this into account. ?  As I have neither and it took me ages, I think you will have many complaints about this. Others will just leave and take their business elsewhere. Life's too short for this. Seriously !
