#2That whole page wasn't apple to explain WHY it is invisible and how it works if it's invisible.
Re: Introducing the Invisible reCAPTCHA
#3It's done by binding it to one of your own buttons, where I guess it does the 'jitter test' on that element (if it's a low risk IP).

#4Google using captchas to get humans to read street addresses captured by street view cars to improve maps results remains one of the most Googly things they've ever done. Genius, lateral, and a little weird.

#5While I like the idea of not having to deal with these annoying ReCAPTCHA prompts, something somehow feels "intrusive ?". I mean does this mean google is going to keep track of what I would be doing when I visit a site?
Say for instance I am signing up for a website, does the password I enter get sent to google servers to be analyzed now?

#6Just curious. What happened to all the data made by the old reCaptcha (the one that OCRed books).
I know that they stopped the project, but did Google at least release the data (old public domain text of books)?
Re: Introducing the Invisible reCAPTCHA
#7Is there a sample page somewhere, where I can 'see' the invisible recaptcha at work?
Re: Introducing the Invisible reCAPTCHA
#8This is so confusing. It doesn't explain how it works nor a demo page nor the reason behind why it went invisible.

#9I'm wondering if this might not be illegal under several countries' data privacy laws.
Users need to be directly and visibly be informed, if and when data of theirs will be transmitted to third parties.
As Google's ReCaptcha is based on tracking what websites you visit, what search terms you enter, correlating this data, and comparing this tracking profile of yours, it's quite problematic that the user doesn't even see any captcha anymore. With the previous captchas, site owners could keep pushing the legal problems to Google, partially.
But this new solution doesn't fit with the EU Data Privacy Directive in neither intention nor letter of the law.
IANAL, this is not legal advice. You can not use this in court.

#10I'd love to hear some commentary from someone involved in the business of bypassing captchas. I have to assume "google invisible captcha hack" is getting bid up right now.
