What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that?

The simplicity of it is logic defying. It used to be that you had to find crosswalks or move puzzle pieces or type blurred letters and numbers, but NOW all the sudden I can just click a box and HEY!, I'm human?
That's hardly the Turing Test I'd expected.
Like those sites that ask me to sign in using Google (or other options) and then Google asks me for the password?
Pretty easy to grab passwords I think.
Those websites send you directly to Google, so they no longer have control of the web page when you're entering your password.
This is why Google sign-in canβt be embedded and uses the password input type for the password type. Most SSOs do this as well.
To clarify, websites can't capture keyboard events that were typed into a different website like you're thinking. Think of going to a web game that let's you use WASD for controlling your character. It's able to capture those events on that page because its in focus. When a site goes out of focus (such as switching tabs or switching to another window that's not the browser), it loses that ability. Overall, it's very secure.
I was more wondering how you thought capturing the mouse movements would lead to security issues.
