Do any blind people use Protonmail despite the CAPTCHAs?
I’m not blind but I browse with images disabled. This means I can no longer login to Protonmail because they push CAPTCHAs. I know some CAPTCHAs have an audio option but I just get a blank box from Protonmail’s CAPTCHA. So I was wondering how blind people deal with that, or if they are simply excluded from using #Protonmail.
There’s an option to skip the captcha if you’re using a screen reader. They then use other heuristics to determine you’re a human.
It didn’t work for me the first time, but then did.
You may or may not be able to use it if you navigate with the keyboard.
Although it’s a tricky decision because if the server can detect that you use a screen reader, then your browser fingerprint uniqueness would increase quite a bit.
A website can't usually detect if you're using a screen reader, but there's CSS tricks to hide text so it'll only be read by screen readers. This basically just requires putting them somewhere somebody not using a screen reader can't see.
