Here is an example of one from Sirius:
If you don't type in "RWhN" then Sirius won't let you listen to music. It's a pain in the arse, but it's done to ensure the user is a human and not a computer.

Those things can be a
royal PITA.
I have never had a problem with the ones that Sirius uses, but I have a site I have to log-in to at work where the damn things are almost impossible to read for anybody.
It is not uncommon to hear someone at work swearing after they have typed the stupid thing in wrong 20 times in a row............
