Cloudflare Is Down and I Can't Log into DigitalOcean. Anyone Else?

1•alexk74•1h ago

How do you get passed the not loading captcha from DigitalOcean? This is what I'm getting:

In order to keep DigitalOcean bot-free, please complete this security check

Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed.

But because Cloudflare is down, no captcha is showing. Any ideas how to bypass it?

Step 1: read almost any post on HN front page. Or glimpse at cspan. Or a cursory web search. It's an at least partial global outage of a huge cloud dsn provider. step 2: delete this post.

Why delete it? I found a way in.

I managed to login using a backup code. If using a backup code, captcha is no longer needed.

Maybe someone finds this useful.
