Verification methods
Sentry comes with the following verification methods. They can be toggled on the Sentry dashboard
Please note that the basic Captchas generated for free outside the initial free credit can be easily solved by AI within a second. We strongly recommend upgrading to the paid service, which will generate more robust challenges providing enhanced protection and enabling our ongoing product development.

Basic captcha
Free
The basic captcha presents a simple challenge designed to be easily solved by humans. It provides a quick and free way to verify users, but offers minimal protection against automated bots or AI, which can bypass the challenge very quickly.
This method is suitable for trying out Sentry or other low-risk scenarios.
Puzzle
1 credit per solve
Users are shown a puzzle where an image is split into several pieces and shuffled. They have to drag a slider to move the pieces, correctly reassemble the image and then solve the captcha.
This interactive challenge is highly effective at distinguishing humans from bots, as it requires visual recognition and manual adjustment that automated scripts struggle to replicate.
1 credit per email
Users are asked for an email address, where a code will be sent to it. This one time code can then be used to verify that they are human. This is provided as a more accessible way for users to verify themselves.
Text
5 credits per text
Users are asked for an phone number, where a code will be sent to it. This one time code can then be used to verify that they are human. This is provided as a more accessible way for users to verify themselves. We currently use shared numbers for this service.
Your one time code for Sentry is 123456
Please note that the text verification method is currently not avaliable for US or Canadian numbers
