Anything that enhances site security is a good thing imo OP. Too many accounts have been compromised in recent times, just take a look at page 1 in Meta, it’s rife atm.

nice, many thanks for the solution.
do you know why captcha was needed?
It was for security purposes. Theymos included the captcha to prevent brute-force attempts using multiple IP's which would in a sense negate the wait period that one has when they use a single IP for login attempts. Read this thread for some more details.do you know why captcha was needed?
Recently someone has taken to using 5000+ IPs to bypass rate-limits and try many passwords. Therefore, it is now required to solve a captcha when logging in. JavaScript is required for this. I know that several forum users like to use NoScript, but I am not aware of any high-quality (ie. not OCR-able) captcha services/libraries which don't require JavaScript. You can maybe enable JS just for the login page, and then disable it again afterward.
There are a few people who use automated bots which need to login. Contact me with a description of your bot, and if it seems reasonable, I will give you a key which will allow you to bypass the captcha.
Let me know if you see any bugs.

And there are a lot of captcha threads that have popped up.
Thank you so much for your reply and the quote from theymos ! I couldn't dream or wish a better reply.
Those kind of "hackers" are such a shame for themselves and a plague for internet...
What do you mean with your last sentence? What sort of captcha threads?

The only part where you need it enabled is through the registration or login Captcha I believe, just leave your account logged in to avoid that.
