🤖 Captcha Protection
Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart (CAPTCHA) is a security feature designed to distinguish real users from bots.
It helps prevent spam, fraud, and automated attacks by requiring users to complete a simple challenge before accessing a website or service.
How Does Captcha Work?
When a user tries to sign in, create an account, or complete a purchase, Captcha may ask them to:
Identify objects in images (e.g., “Select all traffic lights 🚦”).
Check a box confirming, “I’m not a robot.”
Type a series of distorted letters or numbers.
Why is Captcha Important?
✅ Prevents automated bots from spamming, hacking, or abusing your platform
✅ Protects user accounts from fraudulent logins
✅ Reduces fake sign-ups and enhances security on checkout pages
📝 NOTE: Captcha is enabled by default to protect your platform against bots, spam, fraudulent sign-ups, credential stuffing attacks, and payment fraud.
To disable Captcha, contact Uscreen Support. We strongly recommend keeping it enabled, as disabling it can leave your platform vulnerable to automated attacks that compromise member security and platform performance.
🔐 Device Session Limits (Beta)
Control how many devices your members can be logged into simultaneously across web, mobile apps, and TV apps.
Why Use Device Session Limits?
Device session limits help:
Prevent account sharing between multiple users
Protect your content revenue by ensuring each subscription is used by one person
Maintain fair access to your platform
Configuring Device Session Limits
You have full control over device limits with two options:
Option 1: Unlimited Devices Per Member
Members can log in on as many devices as they want simultaneously. This is the most flexible option but offers no protection against account sharing.
Option 2: Limited Devices Per Member
Set a maximum number of devices (1-7) that members can be logged into at the same time.
To set a device limit:
Navigate to Settings > Security
Under Device Session Limits, select Limited devices per member
Choose your maximum devices per member from the dropdown (1-7 devices)
3 is the recommended maximum for most platforms
Your changes save automatically
ℹ️ INFO: When a member reaches their device limit and tries to log in on a new device, they'll be prompted to log out of an existing device first.
Subscription Plan Overrides
Want different device limits for different subscription tiers? You can set custom limits for specific subscription plans.
To add subscription plan overrides:
Under Device Session Limits, make sure Limited devices per member is selected
Click Use Subscription Plan Overrides to expand the section
Click Add Subscription Plan Override
Select a subscription plan from the dropdown
Choose the maximum number of devices for that plan (1-10 devices)
Repeat for additional plans as needed
To remove an override:
Click the trash
icon next to the override you want to remove
💡 TIP: As an example, you might set a global limit of 2 or 3 devices, but allow your premium tier subscribers to use up to 5 devices.
How Members Can Manage Their Devices
Members can view and remove their connected devices at any time:
On Web:
Navigate to
/account/devicesor go to their account settings and select Devices
On Mobile App:
Tap More > Account > Devices
💡 TIP: From there, members can see all devices they're currently logged into and sign out of any device they no longer use.
