Google to replace CAPTCHAs with single click feature

Google is set to get rid of CAPTCHA feature that asked users to confirm they are humans by typing in barely legible words and numbers.

The search engine giant is now introducing a new API text that will require users to just check a box that says, "I'm not a robot", a report by Tech Crunch said.

The new API is already live on a few websites including Snapchat, WordPress and Humble Bundle.

According to the report, Google decided to trash the old Captchas because they weren't as good at keeping robots at bay. The advanced robots today could solve Captchas with 99.8 per cent accuracy.

The old Captchas will now only appear when Google's algorithms are unsure if you are indeed human.

For now, websites can either choose to stick to the old experience or switch to the new API.
