Hi!

I noticed that a single mistyped password at login triggers a CAPTCHA, with a dummy login in between:
- login with wrong password
- login form is displayed again, enter correct password this time
- login form is displayed again, with CAPTCHA, enter correct password again
- finally successful login


Isn't that too much of "paranoia"?
Could at least the CAPTCHA be displayed on the second attempt to avoid a third run?

I believe you are mistaking programmed paranoia and just plain bugginess. It's been doing this to me for years. FYI, if you ever get a failed login, don't even bother at the first CAPCHA login request, it *NEVER* goes through for me. The second one always works.

Also, the CAPTCHA iz wrong, the true answer is 7, but it is rejected, while 6 is accepted.
(this is already discussed somewhere on the forum, but google search found this thread, so I'll note it here for future lost souls...)

Locking due to the age of the original posts.

The true answer is 6 as it was about unique letters and not total letters.
