Description

Once the Captcha is input, we don't need to keep the window around anymore. If we did something (like kept record of the PID) we could kill the process containing the image once the user input it.

That way we don't have a bunch of windows opening and sticking around.

Research direction
Investigate how the captcha image is currently displayed (likely via webbrowser or subprocess). Find where the process is spawned and capture the PID. Then after user input, kill that process using os.kill or subprocess.Popen.terminate(). Check if there are any existing mechanisms to track the PID. Consider cross platform compatibility (Windows vs Unix).
