Of course! The Captcha was initiated because of hacked accounts, hacked accounts were probably because of PIN login, and while you've changed your password, PIN login is not yet disabled! The PIN login won't be disabled for a few more weeks. (Several posts above have verified that even after you change your password, it still lets you log in with your PIN!) So why would/should they get rid of Captcha now?

Erin-

Will the 1,000 points post keep my account alive for another year?

Thanks.

Try using Chrome. I use Chrome browser and even though the I am not a Robot box is still there, clicking it just added the check mark without asking for any other check. I think it is a way for Google to get ahead since both Captcha and Chrome are made by Google.

I agree wholeheartedly. How can a huge company such as Hilton not send any type of confirmation email. This is just, for lack of a better word, idiotic. Not to mention bad business practice.

So I see. Funny, though, I had never read this thread. I figured it was just another 'I hate captcha' thread. Based on this thread title alone I had no idea there was a 1,000 point bonus coming.

Now I'm only 99,000 shortly after missing the last 'thank you for being a Diamond member' promo.

I've updated my account, didn't see any indication that I would get the 1000 points but will wait and see.

Thanks for your efforts Erin. ^

Thanks Erin, I know none of this mess is your fault. I'll be happy if I do get the 1000 points, but life is too short to stress over things like this.

It's small change to Hilton, but at least it inspired people to 'do what we want'

Thanks Erin. Done and new password works. Wonder who will be the first to post receipt of the 1000 points.

I've changed my password but I still get the annoying yellow box telling me to update my password.

So is everyone else. Changing the password does not make the banner go away, it is embedded into the web page and is not user specific.

I signed in this morning to test my new password.

My old PIN was remembered and it let me in. So I logged out and overtyped my PIN with my new password. Both times Captcha only needed me to tick a box, rather than inserting the additional information.

Well, it's handy to have 2 levels of access until they take away in PIN. None of us are getting any younger and memories aren't what they used to be
