   Replace CAPTCHAs with WebAuthn passkeys for bot prevention▲71

   I built Nocaptcha after getting frustrated with traditional CAPTCHAs both as a user and developer. WebAuthn passkeys offered a promising alternative that's both more secure and user-friendly. What makes Nocaptcha different: - Uses WebAuthn standard instead of puzzle-solving - No need for users to remember passwords or solve puzzles - Open source Current limitation: Working with W3C WebAuthn Community Group on true passkey disposal for this use case. Looking for feedback particularly on: 1. Integration experience 2. User experience compared to traditional CAPTCHAs

    Procaptcha – Open-source, privacy preserving and frictionless CAPTCHA▲8

    We built Procaptcha to make sure there's an actually good alternative to Google's ReCAPTCHA that's not a complete nightmare for the end user. Crucially we're not just a giant ad network like almost all CAPTCHA providers [1]. Like with other CAPTCHA providers it's simple to set up, you just change a couple of tags [2]. We've got a few different CAPTCHA types at the moment, all running on a distributed network of nodes with no user tracking. [1] https://prosopo.io/articles/stop-giving-your-website-data-aw...
