# Captcha ### **What is a** CAPTCHA**?** CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) is a type of security measure known as challenge-response authentication. A CAPTCHA test is made up of two simple parts: a randomly generated sequence of letters and/or numbers that appear as a distorted image, and a text box. To pass a the test and prove your human identity, simply type the characters you see in the image into the text box. These test usually occur for high traffic/hype drops. ![Example of a CAPTCHA test.](https://1118301084-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F-MZy3w3wu0X3uAZqF6pF%2Fuploads%2F5WCW5sh1szq29SJbWrKq%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=74318911-d718-4757-a5ff-78fbdc231043) ### **How does this affect you?** During releases/drops you may encounter CAPTCHAS and the bot must solve these CAPTCHA tests in order to complete the checkout process. Hayha does a great job by handling most of the CATPCHA solving server-side. In some cases you will need to use a 3rd party CAPTCHA solving service such as Capmonster, 2Captcha, and Anti-Captcha. Please refer to the Discord and site/release guides to see which site requires a 3rd CAPTCHA solving service. We recommend having a mix of 3rd Party Captcha solving providers in case one service fails or runs into high traffic which can be a bottleneck for your tasks.
