Ubuntu One Captcha too hard to enter correctly

[Vladimir Hidalgo]

I tried to create a new Ubuntu One while setting up the Sofware Center "suggested apps" (which required an Ubuntu One account) and ended frustated.

The Captcha is really hard, I gave up on the account creation after 10 tries, I'm a male on my twentys with normal vision and could not decipher the Captcha.

Not even 4***.org captchas gives me troubles as those on the Ubuntu One register page.

I suggest to improve the captchas so they're not so difficult to read, I can just imagie my dad would just close that window if he saw such a hard captcha.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I also faced this issue. The captchas in Ubuntu software center are absolutely hard to crack. You can try creating account thru browser. It seems we get easier captchas in the browser.

How has this not been fixed yet? this problem has existed for years...

The captcha's almost always have some string of illegible r,n,u and m's. It's so stupid.
