Hi All,

I have QuestyCaptcha working on http://teflpedia.com. However, for
some reason it fails to challenge users on bad login (multiple failed
login attempts is not producing the captcha challenge). In
LocalSettings.php I tried the following settings (from
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ConfirmEdit#Configuration):

$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin']      = true;

But that allowed serial bad login attempts without triggering captcha
challenge. So then I tried "false":

$wgCaptchaTriggers['badlogin']      = false;

But that also allowed multiple failed login attempts without
triggering captcha challenge.

Any ideas why bad login attempts are not producing captcha challenge?

Say, I tried multiple (8 or so) bad login attempts on mediawiki.org
just now and then got:

     Login error
     You have made too many recent login attempts. Please wait before
trying again.

No captcha challenge, just a time out. I like that. Is there an
extension I can install that will do that on my wiki (nothing in
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Version seemed obvious to me)?
