FAQ
-
Does this require any API keys?

No. Everything runs on your WordPress server using PHP and WordPress transients.
-
Will this slow down my site?
-
No. The plugin only loads on the login page and admin settings page.
-
What if the captcha expires?

Each captcha token is valid for 10 minutes. If it expires, the user just needs to refresh the login page.
