CAPTCHA

The brute force log-in attempts continue. Lockouts didn’t really help because they’re apparently using a wide selection of IP addresses. I didn’t want to do this, but I’ve added a CAPTCHA to the log-in page. Hopefully it won’t be too annoying. Once again, let me know if there are any problems.

As a “spoonful of sugar” I’ve given it a humorous and relevant word list. For example the CAPTCHA might be “naked boobs”. Obviously this isn’t terribly secure, but I can’t imagine this is more than a low-effort attack of opportunity, so hopefully that’ll be enough.

Apologies

This post,”How to Sit” was intended to have two images, but only one appeared. This has now been corrected. Please follow that link to see the second part.

In other news, I’ve got an unusual number of failed log-ins recently. I assume it’s a spambot or something trying to steal accounts. As a result, I have made the rules a little stricter. You get 4 retries before you’re locked out, one hour the first time, and one day if it happens again in short timeframe.  If any real users are having trouble logging in, don’t hesitate to contact me. I’m sure I can help you sort it out.
