Wanted to post here, but got stopped initially by a third verification requirement, which I hadn't encountered before......
So before we can post on the RS forums now we need to do the following:
Give in password
Authenticate with authenticator
Complete a sliding puzzle...
It really shows they want to make use of the forums as obnoxious as possible so they can then at one point close them down saying hardly anybody was using them.... How is that any different from login into RuneScape3 and you have to open your 'bank' or your 'metal-bank'?
A lot of these features are there to protect being good security against DDoS attacks and other malicious actions by other people.
For players who lost their account, being hijacked, it can't be enough and hopefully, it will never happen to you at any time.

I've had to do the sliding puzzle when logging out for ages, in fact I'm surprised if I don't get it. I've only had it logging in a couple of times, today being one of them, but I've never had it interrupt me once I've logged in....so far anyway.
edit to add: it doesn't take long to do so its just a minor inconvenience but if it interrupts a session and you lose a post you've been writing then that's different.

If you think it's bad for the RS Forums then feel sorry for me logging into discord. Took me a good 25-30 mins around 20-25 pictures to get them right.
I really do dislike that Google imange thing.
Sliding 1 I can do great no issues. The picture thing click All Sidewalks or Fire hydrents or even Traffic lights. What a pain. Comprehensive Account Security
