This is extremely annoying and no other website I know does that, seriously.

Are you deleting its cookies or otherwise obscuring visits (Private window, for example), this could possibly trigger it. (we are not certain)
Where are you signing on, just on the store page or on the actual front page here https://www.daz3d.com/home
Edited to add that there is a captcha on the Register page, but not on the Log-In page. Are you perhaps going to the wrong place to sign in?
Is it Daz captcha, or Cloudflare Captcha? It might be Cloudflare doing it.
Sites protected by cloudflare and other anti-bot middle-men bridges, will often ask people entering a "secure site", who are on IP-ranges that are known to be sources of "issues", to confirm that they are "human". Though, you are the first person that I have heard pose this question.
There are three actual possibilities here...
1: Daz is using cloudflare or another man-in-the-middle protection for the website, and your IP is nested among legitimate "troubled IPs". (Greylisted). Thus, this captcha is normal, though it may be excessive. (That should stop, the more the service identifies your specific IP as "good", to pull it out of the greylist.) This often happens if you use a VPN that is using greylisted IPs, or something like a TOR-browser, where you are using IPs that may also be greylisted.
2: You have an invasive "plugin" or "program", on your computer and the Captcha isn't actually for Daz, but it is the plugin or program simply giving YOU a capthca IT needs filled-out, so it can do whatever it is trying to do, on some other actual site. (It just sees you are on SOME login page, where you expect a captcha to be, and will freely accept filling it out, thinking it is normal or actually part of the login page where you are at.) What do they do with these captchas? Spam forums with spam. Upload reviews for themselves to thier own plugins or programs. Do click-hits on affiliate websites so it looks like YOU are visiting. etc... Mostly harmless things. (Immorale and against other sites TOS, but normally legal.)
3: You have a virus and this is the same as #2, above, except the captchas you are getting are for another purpose, of a more deviant nature. As opposed to being for something like giving themselves good reviews or for accessing forums for spamming. (Viruses are usually a little harder to get rid of, and are not often easily identified within your system. Invasive plugins and programs, spamware or just ghost-function programs, are usually related to legitamate and mostly legal actions. You usually agree to them, when installing plugins and programs, in the agreement, upon installing or as a side-loaded program that you didn't have to add, but did, because you didn't realize you could have simply unchecked the install button or clicked cancel at that point.)
You don't want to know all the things that most "viruses" do with the Captchas. Most are just selling, "we'll fill-out captchas for you, with our advanced bot-network"... The rest are doing, often illegal, things that require a captcha as some kind of proof that they are not just a bot-program, buying things at online stores with false credentials and stolen cards. (Trying to avoid capture by operating through YOUR computer, instead of one that can be traced back to them. Making you the man in the middle operator. Thus, the reason why they try to hide the programs more than spamware or adware programs would do.)
Your browser should have the option to "remember your name and password", and the website here will retain your login credentials for about 4-7 days, before the cookie will expire and a new login will be needed. (If you are browsing anonymously, your cookie is thrown away after the browser closes. If you are using a VPN, your cookie may be invalid, as it may not match the next time you visit, as you may have a new IP. IP-hopping is an acton that may also trigger a "I am human", captcha.)
Take a screen-shot of your login, with the captcha that you keep seeing, minus your login info, if it is visible... Then send it in a support ticket to Daz, by using the Contact option on the Help pages. If it is honestly them... they may be able to manually add you to a whitelist to the "site protection", or make an adjustment to the protection options. If it is not them, they will tell you right away, and you can focus on #2 and #3 from above.
It's cloudflare I think. I sign-in from 2 different places, both have static exclusive IPs for 5+ years which shouldn't be associated with anything weird. Either way, Cloudflare and similar services are used everywhere nowadays, yet daz is the only website which gives me these troubles, thus I think something is wrong with it.
You are lucky then I get caught on several sites I use regularly. One really annoys me is a purely British site and the blasted capture "tick all crossovers" etc are based in the US, and I do not recognise that the images are what they want me to find.
