đź’ˇ What is CAPTCHA?
CAPTCHA stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart.”
It's a security feature used on websites to check whether a user is a real human or a computer program (bot).
In simple terms:
A CAPTCHA is a small test you must pass to prove you're not a robot.
Common examples:
- Typing distorted letters or numbers
- Clicking images (like “select all traffic lights”)
- Checking a box (“I'm not a robot”)
- Solving simple puzzles
- Prevent spam (e.g., fake account sign-ups)
- Stop automated attacks
- Protect forms and login pages.
