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).
What happens if you use a different captcha module? I'd like to know if this is a problem with the extension or the module.
I don't know. If I get a moment, I will try to find out and reply.
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)?
$wgPasswordAttemptThrottle
I see, on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordAttemptThrottle, that "Memcached must be enabled for this setting to work properly." My wiki is a low usage wiki on a shared Web hosting account and I think Memcached may be more than I want to attempt. So I guess I should not try $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle.
