Information

Please note that when you go to the website login page or new user registration page, <autocomplete> is enabled by default as you type in the CAPTCHA text field and some organizations may consider this a security concern.

An enhancement request has been logged to possibly disable autocomplete functionality in DNN's CAPTCHA.

 

You can also use Captcha for other functionality, such as resetting or changing passwords, under Security -> Basic Login Settings. You must clear the server cache for these settings to work.
