When trying to login to my dropbox account using playwright (QA Automation Software) I'm prompted with this message: Your browser appears to be blocking dropboxcaptcha.com, which is required for authentication. To resolve this issue, please update any anti-virus or ad-blocking software settings to allow connections to dropboxcaptcha.com
Can I somehow bypass this or are there any dropbox sandbox accounts that do no trigger re-captcha calls?
I need to do this in order to test the interaction between the app under test (an antivirus) and all kinds of file sharing apps like dropbox.
Thanks
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?

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.
