Is the HIP challenge included in the sign up process for actual student accounts?
The Human Interface Proof (HIP) is a standard internet challenge that is in use (Yahoo and Google both have similar challenges) It is something that is network wide and we are not able to remove. This HIP challenge should only take place once for most users. This is something we are regularly re-evaluating and working to improve. Human Interface Proof. It’s that bitmap of weird letters that many sites bring up to verify that they are talking with a human and not an automated system. Ticketmaster uses them all the time to help prevent people from writing programs that automatically purchase tickets. We use them to keep people from setting up spam programs through Windows Live Hotmail.
