Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A clear and concise description of what the problem is. Google are planning to or already are rolling out a new version of reCAPTCHA called "Cloud Fraud Defence". If any traffic is flagged as suspicious, instead of a typical clicking boxes activity, a modern iPhone or a phone with GMS is used to scan a QR code to verify instead. This is fairly concerning for phones running microg as there's a risk people get locked out of parts of the internet.

Google article linked for info:

Describe the solution you'd like
A simple button somewhere in the app to activate a QR scanner for the user to scan the code that pops up on the reCAPTCHA window.

Describe alternatives you've considered
One could carry around a second phone, or use a good VPN to make their traffic seem less suspicious(which is fairly rare nowadays) or find some other way to get the non QR code reCAPTCHA test.
