Captcha accepts characters of any case in second round

Anonymous — Thu, 01/11/2007 - 22:21

When you fill out a captcha with wrong-case characters the first time, captcha does not accept the input.

The second time around, it allows you to use wrong-case characters.

This is perceived by users as a bug, as the first input consistently fails, while the second one is successful.

Thank you for the great module.

Which form

Hello Alex,

That would indeed be a bug.

Unfortunately, I'm unable to reproduce this issue on the contact form. Does this happen on all forms?

Ha, its actually worse :)

Ha, its actually worse :) the wrong answer to the captcha throws an error on the login form, but it actually logs you in, no matter what.

So: the disclaimer that mycaptcha does not work for the login form actually applies to /user - as I installed and captcha seemed to be working fine at the first glance, I thought the disclaimer refers to the login block.

So are we looking at a bigger issue here?

PS: I tested mycaptcha on a node add form, and it worked all fine.

Login

The login form appears both on the login block and the user page. This form cannot be used with MyCaptcha. I've updated the known issues page to prevent such confusion.
