CAPTCHA Prompt
On the first login to a Google Apps account, you must accept the terms, and may be presented with a CAPTCHA prompt.
A CAPTCHA is a type of challenge-response test used as an attempt to ensure that the response is generated by a human rather than a computer. A common type of CAPTCHA requires the user to type letters and/or digits from a distorted image that appears on the screen. Such tests are commonly used to prevent unwanted internet bots from accessing websites.
Please complete the CAPTCHA details if prompted and proceed with the login.
