Hi,
Does the new Accessible Authentication criterion mean that someone should never have a CAPTCHA? And how does the new criterion fit with the old CAPTCHA one?
Thanks.
Jim

The understanding page for WCAG SC 3.3.8 explains this well. CAPTCHAs are allowed, but they cannot rely on a cognitive function test, such as transcription of audio or solving a puzzle.

What do you mean by "the old CAPTCHA one"?
