Reported in #3546 - login seems to be fairly broken. The altcha sometimes pops up, but even when it does, seems to fail. Getting 503s from the server for some reason. I'm just trying to get a quick fix in so folks can login again - we probably need a more proper altcha fix.

The altcha-widget web component internally sets required on a hidden checkbox. When auto="onload" is set, the widget tries to fetch /api/captcha/challenge on page load. If the endpoint returns a 503, the widget enters the error state, the checkbox stays unchecked, and the browser's native form validation blocks submission with "An invalid form control is not focusable."
