Hi Friends,

Could anybody give us some pointer how to change the captcha (just the image) displayed in the store to a different one?

Thanks,

Captcha image is generated on run time. its something dynamic why do you want to change this? If you want to disable it then it could be done from Administration > Configure > Security > Password Policy page.

My boss would like to change the image because he has hard time to read the shops default captcha. He wants captcha but with a picture which is easier to read.

I guess the problem is that for him the numbers don't stand out enough from the background color swirl.

Could you recommend sg?

By the way, thanks for taking the time to answer the post.

Tony

I don't think so there is any straight fix for this. May be try to enlarge the image can help you viewing the captcha. You can do this by changing the height and width in following code in login pages

Code: Select all

<cb:CaptchaImage ID="CaptchaImage" runat="server" Height="100px" Width="300px" />
