> Automatic Verification helps protects your privacy when you sign in to an app or website. Instead of being asked to complete a CAPTCHA:

> An Apple server validates your device and Apple Account.

> This verification is sent to a third-party token issuance server, which has been verified by Apple. The token issuance server generates a private access token that verifies you to the app or website.

This is definitely not better for privacy and gives apple even more control. I would rather 3 extra seconds for captchas.



3 seconds?

I seem to fail 4 out of 5 captchas at this point.
