PATs prove your humanity to the websites you visit – allowing you to bypass the CAPTCHA prompts that present maths problems or a grid of photos, asking you to choose the photos with certain items in them.ĬAPTCHA is an acronym for ‘Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart’. Privacy Access Tokens (PATs) – which are stored within your browser and also work for APIs called within the web apps you use – are cryptographic tokens that prove you’re not a bot. Cybercriminals’ use of AI means CAPTCHA prompts are annoying everybody but the bots they are designed to stop – and they could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to new priority passes being introduced by the likes of Apple, Google, and Cloudflare.
