There were like 20 in total, not in one go, I saw max 4 at at time.

I could not use Tor (captcha does not even appear) so ended up using another browser. I still don't have an account by the way

I bet sites have some sort of control over those rules but I have seen it happen randomy with other sites too. It can be super annoying.

Not sure why NPM is more hostile with tor users but it really isn't uncommon. I have only had to deal with it with Google searches but it is so frustrating.

Now that I think about it, 20 prompts is excessive. I wonder if the root issue is actually just a javascript call getting timed out because of latency over tor? That would make more sense to me because If I was integrating some challenge like that I would cap it off at like 3 or 4 to validate it is a human.

I passed all the puzzles, the site definitely has control over it especially with the "Account creation denied" message

And apparently I can't log in via Github to publish on the NPM registry
