Skype Captcha Stops the Users from Creating Accounts

New Skype users face a mad captcha stopping them from finishing their registration. It appears, again and again, each time when you try to log in for the first time with your Microsoft account. The corporation does not comment if it is a bug or a feature that is designed to decrease the flow of the fake account.

Skype captcha problem: what is going on?

On Monday, 01/04, a lot of messages about the Skype captcha madness appeared. This thing is pretty familiar for old users of this application, but this time it does its best to prevent your login. Instead of weeding out robots who try to log in, this thing acts as a real mind-breaker for the users. Solving it once is ok, but 10 times in a row can make literally anyone mad. And it is very easy to make a mistake in one of the attempts, so you would do this test again.

Without the Skype captcha, you will not be able to log into your account if you are doing it for the first time. Hence, the newcomers are just paralyzed in using this video messenger. It is not clear why this thing appeared, but it is obvious that it must be fixed as soon as possible. Microsoft does not comment on this situation, and that looks like an old-new tradition. Earlier, when their attempts at propagating Edge came into view, the tech giant did not say even a word on the situation. The case with an old bug in Azure that lead to a large data leak also left almost without any comments. This time, history repeats itself.

How to solve Skype captcha?

Obviously, as its “normal” alteration – by solving what it asks you to. But it is not OK when you need it fast, not after several attempts and 10-15 minutes of trying. Users report that this error will not appear if you will log in with a Microsoft account, and not using a Microsoft account. Other folks say that the problem disappears when you turn off your VPN – just to prevent the blocks because of unusual connection setups. But the last piece of advice does not help very often.
