Thanks!

I believe it is commonly used for creating a new account, but not commonly used for every single login. Actually I have only seen it on Hilton site for the first time (on every login) and it is more troublesome because the "remember me" never worked.

Is this going to be permanent or a temporary fix until a permanent solution could be found?

and I have never seen one that takes four tries. As a MINIMUM, I have to enter 3 and often 4 times.

Is anyone else having a problem getting to see the Captcha part of the screen on Google Chrome? It just does not work. Works only on Internet Explorer (eeeeks!!!)

This is absolutely true in my experience. I know that I am on the low end of the spectrum here, but I have at least 20 airline, hotel, and car rental loyalty accounts. Hilton is the only one that requires this at every log in.

Can anyone here name another loyalty program website that requires this at every log in versus just creating an account?

Not just loyalty program website.. any financial institute website doesn't use it either. Usually if they want to be secured, they would ask to TXT the registered phone a code, and you input it back for the first time you use that particular computer to access the website. After that, it would ask if you want to remember this computer for future access.

That's why I thought CAPTCHA was a quick fix and a more permanent and secured method will be coming. But from Erin's post, it seems like this is permanent?

Are people really that upset about a slight inconvenience that vastly increases their account security?

I've had it work first time every time.

I use Chrome and I find myself refreshing it a couple of times until I get something legible enough for me to log in.

In Chrome, it just seems to stop and load forever.

I hit the F12 key (debug console) and see:

index.htm:326 The page at 'https://secure3.hilton.com/en/hi/customer/login/index.htm?WT.bid=Home,,,logged_out_view' was loaded over HTTPS, but is submitting data to an insecure location at 'http://www3.hilton.com/en_US/hi/search/keywordsearch/keywordsearch.htm': this content should also be submitted over HTTPS.

So - - what that means for the non-technical people among us, is they are loading the login screen over https (secure) but sending the data back to Hilton over regular plain old http (not secure). What the hell, Hilton!?

I'd never seen the capcha going directly to Hilton.com; however, when I followed a link from an event (for their special rate), the login page did require one.

Awardwallet is still updating Hhonors points correctly for me.

Hi there,

Thanks for your question! At this point, CAPTCHA is a long-term solution and has been implemented as an extra security measure for the safety of our members. I am collecting your feedback each day and passing along to my team so they are looped in on the user experience.

Thanks,
Erin
