Recaptcha doesn't always show up

[gordonjcp]

Somewhat reproducible by restarting uwsgi - recaptcha won't show on the login page until the page has been refreshed five times.

Further to this, it is showing up after a certain number of failed login attempts - but it seems like it's always expecting a captcha response in the login handler.

That's actually intended behavior. If you disable rate limiting, the captcha won't show up.

after a certain number of failed login attempts or before?

You can just refresh the page five times and the recaptcha will show up, then you can log in.

Login fails without the recaptcha showing. As a workaround for now I've set the number of failed logins before showing the recaptcha to zero.

This is probably an issue with rate limiting. I have disabled auth rate limiting on https://forums.flaskbb.org and so this issue never showed up.

I am not able to reproduce this issue. Is your FlaskBB installation up-to-date? Are you using a clean/fresh installation?
