Login Page Loops on Human Verification? Fix It Now

First Thing (30 Seconds): Clear Browser Cookies & Cache

Nine times out of ten, this is the culprit. A corrupted or expired cookie from the website is tripping the security check. Don't bother clearing everything — just the site's cookies.

1. In Chrome: click the padlock icon left of the URL > 'Cookies' > select each cookie > 'Remove'.
2. In Firefox: same padlock > 'Clear Cookies and Site Data'.
3. Close the browser entirely. Reopen and try again.

If that doesn't work, clear your full browser cache too. On Chrome: Settings > Privacy and Security > Clear browsing data > select 'Cookies and other site data' and 'Cached images and files' > time range 'All time' > Clear data.

Still stuck? Move to the next step.

Moderate Fix (5 Minutes): Flush DNS & Reset Network

Sometimes your computer's DNS cache gets stale. It points the website to an old server that's triggering the verification loop. Flush it.

Windows:

ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew
netsh winsock reset

Open Command Prompt as admin, paste the above commands one by one, hit Enter after each. Then restart your browser.

Mac:

sudo dscacheutil -flushcache; sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder

Also, try restarting your router. Unplug the power for 30 seconds, plug back in. Wait 2 minutes. This clears any messed-up network state that can confuse the verification system.

If the problem is still there, check for browser extensions.

Check Browser Extensions & VPN

Ad blockers, privacy extensions, or VPNs often block the scripts that run the 'I'm not a robot' test. Disable all extensions temporarily. Chrome: three dots > Extensions > Manage Extensions > toggle off. Then reload the login page.

If it works, re-enable extensions one by one to find the troublemaker. uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger are common suspects. Whitelist the site in those extensions.

Also, turn off your VPN if you're using one. Some VPN IPs are flagged by security services. Try a different server location or disable it completely.

Advanced Fix (15+ Minutes): Check for Malware or System Tampering

If the simple stuff didn't work, something deeper might be wrong. Malware can hijack your browser's network traffic, causing the verification loop. Run a full antivirus scan. I use Malwarebytes for this — the free version is fine. Boot into Safe Mode with Networking (press F8 during startup) and scan there.

Also check your Windows hosts file. Malware sometimes adds entries that redirect traffic to fake servers. Open Notepad as admin, then File > Open and navigate to:

C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts

Look for lines that don't have a '#' at the start. Anything referencing the site you're stuck on? Delete it. Save the file. Then flush DNS again.

Another thing: check your system's proxy settings. Malware often enables a proxy to intercept traffic. On Windows, go to Settings > Network & Internet > Proxy. Make sure 'Use a proxy server' is Off. On Mac, System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies > uncheck everything.

Still looping? Try a different browser entirely. Or use a private/incognito window (this disables most extensions). If that works, the issue is almost certainly an extension or cached data.

Last Resort: Reset Browser or Create New Profile

If nothing else works, reset your browser to default. In Chrome: Settings > Reset settings > 'Restore settings to their original defaults'. This removes extensions, cookies, and cache. You'll lose saved passwords if you haven't backed them up, so export them first.

Or create a new browser profile. Chrome: click your profile icon > Add > sign in with a different Google account or no account. Firefox: about:profiles > Create a New Profile.

This forces the browser to start clean. If the verification loop stops here, the old profile was corrupted.

That's it. Start with cookies, move to DNS, kill the extensions, then check for malware. One of these will break the loop. You don't need to be a sysadmin — just follow the order.
