I see, on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:$wgPasswordAttemptThrottle, that "Memcached must be enabled for this setting to work properly."
That message is wrong (or outdated). I did some testing, and it appears $wgMainCacheType just has to be set to something other than CACHE_NONE.

Am I supposed to set somewhere how many consecutive bad login attempts should trigger the captcha challenge?
It's triggered after 3 attempts. Like $wgPasswordAttemptThrottle, it requires that $wgMainCacheType be set to something other than CACHE_NONE (CACHE_DB seems to do the trick, if you don't have any accelerator available).
