Hi!
There is a new proposal to upgrade Internet Identity. This proposal adds a new functionality that will improve the onboarding experience: dynamic captcha.
The captcha during the registration flow is considered a significant source of friction for onboarding new users.
The dynamic captcha aims to balance usability and resilience against bots by making it a dynamic element in the registration flow; only required when the registration rate is suspiciously high.

Update For Developers
If no configuration is passed, the captcha is still enabled.
However, developers can add the init_arg
in their dfx.json
to disable the captcha for their development environments. We updated the example project to use the new argument.
