Private Access Tokens: eliminating CAPTCHAs on iPhones and Macs with open standards

What's this blog post about?

Cloudflare has introduced Private Access Tokens (PATs), a new method to validate real users visiting websites without compromising privacy. PATs eliminate nearly 100% of CAPTCHAs for users on supported iOS or macOS devices, improving the mobile web experience and enhancing privacy. This technology is expected to be incorporated into more operating systems in the future. Cloudflare customers do not need to take any action to utilize PATs; they will automatically benefit from this new feature when visitors use compatible devices.
