Human Verification

We use a simple hold-to-verify check to protect iDOFF from automated bots and spam registrations.

How it works

1

Find the verification box

On the registration form, look for the red-bordered box that says "Hold to verify you're human".

2

Press and hold

Click and hold (or tap and hold on mobile) the box for 3–4 seconds. A green bar will fill from left to right.

3

Release when full

Once the bar is completely filled, the box turns green and shows a checkmark. You're verified!

4

Submit your form

The "Create account" button will become active and you can complete your registration.

Why do we use this?

Traditional CAPTCHAs (like "select all traffic lights") are frustrating and often inaccessible. Our hold-to-verify approach is:

  • ✓ Simple — no puzzles or image recognition
  • ✓ Mobile-friendly — works with touch on any device
  • ✓ Accessible — no visual challenges required
  • ✓ Effective — bots can't simulate a sustained human press
  • ✓ Private — no data sent to third-party services

Having trouble?

The bar resets when I release early

You need to hold continuously for the full 3 seconds without releasing. Try again and keep holding until the bar is completely full.

It's not working on my phone

Use a single finger tap and hold. Make sure you're pressing directly on the verification box. Avoid scrolling while holding.

The button is still greyed out

Make sure the verification box shows a green checkmark before trying to submit. If it's still not working, try refreshing the page.

I'm using a keyboard / assistive technology

You can focus the verification box using Tab and then press and hold the Space or Enter key for 3 seconds.
