Hi,

Even after 3 attempts, CAPTCHA is not displaying in login form.

Any solutions?

WWF version: 8 beta 2 (mySQL).

In what way is it not displaying?

Is there an error, or does it simply not display?

How it is triggered to work is.

For each account you have 3 attempts at making a login without the CAPTCHA code appearing, after the 3rd attempt the CAPTCHA code needs to be entered.

For example, if you try 3 times to login as the user '-borg-' on this forum after the 3rd attempt if anyone else, even myself on a different PC, tries to login as '-borg-' I will be required to type in a CAPTCHA security code.

If you just type in a random user, or a none existing user in each login attempt you won't see the CAPTCHA image as it is done on an member basis with each member accounting logging the number of un-successful attempts made on it.

This protects against a dictionary or brute attack because if a hacker were to guess at the admins or another users password, they would have only 3 attempts on that account before the CAPTCHA image is displayed.
