Has anyone tried the latest firmware update (August 2022) for the Schiit Audio Bifrost 2?

Aw Nuts, I was even logged in and the danged Capcha  request popped up. Bob  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
It seems the new security system has some bugs. Now, I get the 'checking browser' screen, but it moves onto the page I wanted. B  
Why is Audiogon checking my browser?
I am using Chrome browser, and the same PC to log in for years. I know earlier, I would get locked out if I was using a different computer, but this Capcha stuff is really tedious. Today, it seemed to check the browser and allowed me to log in wi... 
Which music service?
Qobuz is great. However, I switched to Roon and never looked back. B  
Just curious if any of you are using a device like this?
