Protonmails approach to requiring hCaptcha for everything, even their mobile apps, really turns me off. I can't complete them. And I need another email to get in using their weird and creepy accessibility cookie thing. Nah thanks. If I need a second email to access my email I might as well just use that second email.

Who the hell downvotes a person for saying "I have a hard time with Captchas because they don't provide accessibility options that allow entry to someone with my conditions" ?

Like, guys, Captchas being ableist is a well known thing. And they've only been getting worse, as they've been in an arms race with AI, trying to become more and more distorted, and most AI text recognition software is already better at Captchas than most dyslexic people.
