I logged out just now to get New Posts working properly again (see New Posts Not Working? for details). When I tried to log back in, I was told that I had exceeded the maximum number of login attempts. As I hadn't failed logging in, that's usually an indication that somebody is trying to crack passwords to access accounts here.

Re: Cracking Attempts Here?
Same here.
Re: Cracking Attempts Here?
I constantly have to answer the question if not set to auto log in. Seems the count for too many log in attempts isn't being re-set or something.
EDIT only seems to be happening on this forum. I can force the captcha display on test forum, log in, browse around and log out. When I go to log in again I can log in fine.

Re: Cracking Attempts Here?
Are you saying that if you log out, log back in, log out again and log back in right away, you'll see the CAPTCHA at both log-in attempts? I didn't check to see if it happened again yesterday, so I logged out just now and logged back in. I didn't get prompted for the CAPTCHA today.RMcGirr83 wrote:I constantly have to answer the question if not set to auto log in.

If I had gotten asked for the CAPTCHA, I was hoping that it's related to problem with New Posts here showing posts that you've already read until you log out. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.

Re: Cracking Attempts Here?
Since Steve started this topic I am unable to log into the tracker. It is an endless circle of CAPTCHAs. Did anyone change anything?
Re: Cracking Attempts Here?
JIRA CAPTCHA is broken.
