Skip the CAPTCHA When Creating a Gmail Account
Skip the CAPTCHA When Creating a Gmail Account
Adding a phone number to a Google account is **t always required, but even if you can get away without adding one, Google will periodically ask you to verify your account when you log in. It's just a security feature that discourages spammers from creating a lot of Gmail accounts, but it's still an**ying.
"In an effort to protect our users from abuse, we sometimes ask users to verify their identity before they're able to create or sign into accounts. Requiring proof of identification via phone is an effective way to keep spammers from abusing our systems," informs Google.
**w when you create a Gmail account, there's a new option that lets you skip the CAPTCHA: "skip this verification (phone verification may be required)".
After enabling this option, Google asked me to verify the account by sending a text message or making an automated call.
Just because you don't skip the CAPTCHA doesn't mean that Google won't ask for your phone number. I've tested this and Google asked me to verify an account even after solving the CAPTCHA.
It's interesting to **tice that Google's wording is "phone verification may be required", which means that it's **t always required. A few years ago, phone verification was limited to a small number of countries, but **w it's widespread.
Google still asks you to create a Gmail account when you sign up from Google.com, Google Image Search, Google Translate, Gmail, Google Play and Google+, but you can create a Google account using a **n-Gmail email address from other Google services like Google Maps, Google Calendar or Google Drive.
