Hello @Eric Parayre ,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble accessing your Jira application due to a CAPTCHA requirement. This usually happens when there are too many failed login attempts with your user ID, and Jira uses CAPTCHA as an additional security measure to prevent unauthorized access.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you resolve this issue:

1. Try a Password Reset:

   • If possible, try resetting your password. This can sometimes bypass the CAPTCHA requirement.

   • Look for a "Forgot Password?" link on the login page and follow the instructions to reset your password.

2. Clear Browser Cache and Cookies:

   • Sometimes, clearing your browser's cache and cookies can help resolve login issues.

   • Go to your browser settings, find the option to clear browsing data, select cache and cookies, and clear them.

3. Use an Incognito/Private Browsing Window:

   • Try logging in using an incognito or private browsing window. This can help bypass any session-related issues.

4. Contact Your Jira Administrator:

   • Since the CAPTCHA issue is typically related to security settings, it often requires intervention from your Jira administrator.

   • Contact your Jira administrator and explain the situation. They will be able to reset the CAPTCHA for your user ID.

5. Ensure Correct Username and Password:

   • Double-check that you are using the correct username and password. Ensure there are no typing errors or unnecessary spaces

I hope this helps, and you can get back into your Jira application soon!
