Now need to verify I am a human by Cloudflare???
Noticed I now have to verify with some Cloudflare thing that I am a human every time I try to log into the Roku Community. So far, no pictures, but this is getting insane.
Forum Discussion
I just tried to login and instead of the Cloudflare check box I got a page saying an email was sent to me. That I must open and click a verification link in order to be able to login here. I am NOT dealing with email verification every time I need to login.
This nonsense is getting out of control! First the annoying captcha pictures and now this? Just put it back to the simple check the Cloudflare box for verification, if that isn't good enough tough! I can guarantee you nobody is going to want to check their email and click a verification link every time Roku logs them out!
I have never seen that before. I use Firefox on my android phone. When I use my windows laptop using edge I've never seen that before.
Trying to use Firefox on my phone, I get the Cloudflare. Then when I want to log in, I have to verify my email. Get the same with Edge and Chrome on the phone.No issues with the regular computer earlier today.
I hope this is just a bug and not more paranoia over Spam.
Until Roku fixes/tailors this email verification, go to one of your Roku devices and under Settings/System/About take note of the last 5 digits of your device ID.
When the email verification pops up, select "use alternative method" and then just enter the required 5 digits it asks for. (for those that do not clear their history, this number will likely be saved under autofill for future logins.).
Annoying, yes - but not as annoying as having to verify by your email address.

You would think that a company that does internet streaming could figure out how to create/implement an easy, working login system to an internet forum.
