reCAPTCHA should be activated a̲f̲t̲e̲r̲ login credentials verified.

Why would reCAPTCHA be activated if you misstyped your email address when logging in? I realized it when it was too late and had to go through the mind-numbing experience that is the current reCAPTCHA system just to be met with a "this email does not exist" message when finally complete them. You cannot close discord to restart, or hit a back button to fix your typo. You have misstyped your email, therefore you're subjected to the checkpoint oblivion that is that image selector that 30% of the time will mark your selection as false due to a few shady pixels seeping onto another grid sqaure. What an amazing experience. I do not understand why the developers thought this was more productive at daming up bot-waves versus having the checkpoint activate AFTER verifying your credentials.

So far, the best option has been to simply end Discord in the task manager. Then login again. There's 10 mins of your life back.
