Captcha attempts per hour
Login only. Controls when the login captcha appears.
Where to find it
Admin → Settings → Settings (first tab) → Captcha & abuse → Captcha attempts per hour
Setting key: captcha_attempts_h
How it works
- Requires Captcha on login to be enabled
- Empty → always show captcha on sign-in
- Set (example
3, min 1 when set) → captcha after that many failed logins for that user in one hour - Ignored when Login captcha is off
Does not ban anyone — only decides when the challenge shows.
Common problems
Expected delayed captcha but it always shows
Field is empty. Enter a number like 3.
Never shows after failures
Captcha on login is off.
