      This issue is to add a (re)captcha to the login page for auth methods that log into Moodle LMS using username and password.

      Having a captcha on the login page will add an extra layer of protection against user account brute force attacks and bot logins. This functionality will also bring the login form in line with the self signup form and site contact forms where captcha is already enabled.

      GDPR note: because of the way that the Google APIs work for captcha's this functionality is unlikely to be GDPR compliant. However, it is opt in functionality for jurisdictions that captcha functionality is allowed. As well as being opt in, for the functionality to operate, admins also need to sign up for the Google service and enter API keys into Moodle LMS. Because of this enabling this functionality is a quite deliberate action.

      Original reporter comments

      Thanks for the much needed help !! But here again i am with another set of problems, the issue being faced is that of implementing captcha in the login screen (i.e. when a user logs into the moodle ). I have explored the use of captcha in the sign-up form,is there a way to implement captcha in index page as well??
      Could you please refer to forum post at https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=205825 and help us out ????
