Captchas are meant to stop bots. So when you’re automating, you can’t solve them directly. The best solution is to disable captchas in test environments.

If you can’t disable it, try using test keys from captcha providers like Google. These bypass real checks and let your script proceed.

For OTPs (One Time Passwords), don’t try to grab real messages. Use mocks or predefined test values. Some systems let you pull OTPs from logs or APIs. Others allow test phone numbers or emails that always return a fixed code.

Don’t waste time trying to solve real captchas. It’s unreliable and slow. Instead, control the environment or use testing flags. For OTPs, coordinate with the backend team to provide hooks or bypasses.

Focus on testing the flow, not the protection. That’s how you test login and verification in a smart way.
