Description

Hi All,

I often use the WAVE tool (https://wave.webaim.org/) to check site accessibility.

This morning when I tried to check this site https://lehmanoer.commons.gc.cuny.edu/ in WAVE, I see a "Captcha Required" page, and cannot check the site. See screenshot.

Is there a way to disbale the captcha requirement or turn this off when trying to view/check a site on WAVE?

It's likely that this is related to #24092. I'll add this to our conversation with Reclaim.

In the meantime, you can use the WAVE browser extension, which runs locally and doesn't trigger the CAPTCHA.

The WAVE site has been whitelisted, so you should no longer see this problem.
