Block IP based on failed Captcha?

    First of all, thank you for a great plugin. I’m so impressed by the attempted break-in data I’m collecting, and protection I’m receiving that I donated to the plugin today. Despite some people having trouble getting locked out I’m confident you’ll get it fixed once you find a reasonable user to troubleshoot with who is experiencing the rare problem. ??

    I am amazed at the number of reCaptcha failures I’m getting from the same IP addresses trying to obviously break into my site. Is there a way for you to add a ‘Block IP address after x number of reCAPTCHA verification failed events?” Since, technically these are break in attempts, and they ARE logged in the activity log, do you have enough info (IP address) to block them?

    Thanks again for your hard work!

    Yes, all those attempts tell that a particular IP has no good intentions. And yes we should block such IPs after several unsuccessful attempts. And yes, such feature will be implemented soon identically limiting login attempts. Stay tuned ??
