Registration-with-captcha.md

@ -18,41 +18,8 @@ To get the token, go to https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html
After filling the captcha, the site doesn't show the token but redirects to a `signalcaptcha://` url that contains the token.
How to see the captcha token depends on whether one of the official apps (Desktop/iOS/Android) is installed. Because in that case the `signalcaptcha://` url scheme is handled by the apps and the captcha cannot be seen directly.
### No official app installed -Firefox
To see the URL you can open the browser developer tools (F12) before completing the captcha.
Hint: Enable the option "Persist Logs" in the "Console Settings" to prevent clearing the console each time navigating to a new page.
Check the console in the developer tools for a redirect starting with `signalcaptcha://`
Everything after `signalcaptcha://` is the captcha token (INCLUDING the `signal-recaptcha-v2.6LfBXs0bAAAAAAjkDyyI1Lk5gBAUWfhI_bIyox5W.registration` part).

### Get token from network request
To see the URL you can open the browser developer tools (F12) before completing the captcha and navigate to the network tab.
The request which includes the captcha token (upon successful completion of the captcha challenge) is a POST with the following path: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/enterprise/userverify. The response includes just the captcha token in the json under key "1". The request includes the 40 character site key for signalcaptchas.org which is 6LfBXs0bAAAAAAjkDyyI1Lk5gBAUWfhI_bIyox5W. See screenshots below.
To get a complete captcha token, prepend `signal-recaptcha-v2.6LfBXs0bAAAAAAjkDyyI1Lk5gBAUWfhI_bIyox5W.registration.` to the token from the request (`03AG...motOQ`)

### Register custom protocol handler
See [#701](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/701) or [#724](https://github.com/AsamK/signal-cli/issues/724) for some suggestions.
### If you already have the official desktop app installed - Brave
* Go to: https://signalcaptchas.org/registration/generate.html press F12
* Click on the "Network Tab"
* Within the Network tab, sort on tab: "Name".
* Complete the captcha and click on Verify. If the browser asks: "Open link with" don't do anything with that, just ignore it.
* After clicking "Verify", you should see an entry that starts with:`signal-recaptcha-v2...`. Click on that entry.
If there are multiple, select the lowest/latest one (assuming sort A-Z from top to bottom).
* In the right pane, below headers, it should now show the captcha token that you should enter in the CLI.
