    Hi florinb-b, currently there isn't a way to circumvent the captcha in order to login to the site.

     

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter.

Hey florinb-b, sorry to hear you're having issues with this.

 

Can you please clarify if you're developing the mentioned software or if you've just connected it to your account?

 

If you're using a particular browser, could you try another browser and let us know if you still get the same results?

 

Keep us posted with any updates!

    Hi Walter, yes, the company for which I'm working is developing the said antivirus that I need to test.

    Using a browser without Playwright automation software on top of it will make Login work.

    So yes, the issue is that it's blocking me from creating automated tests for this flows.
