Error: Too many login attempts. (Captcha issues during login)

See original GitHub issue

Since yesterday there seems to be a problem with the login process. For the first time in a few weeks I received a request to solve a captcha. Today I tried again with the newest image version of the container: I solved three of these captchas in a row, after which the logs show the following error:

Error: Too many login attempts. This probably because something is wrong with the captcha process.
        at Login.login (/usr/app/src/login.ts:100:13)
        at Login.login (/usr/app/src/login.ts:136:22)
        at processTicksAndRejections (internal/process/task_queues.js:97:5)

I also have the same problem…

Does everybody have this problem or only a few?

I just pushed a few new potential fixes, and maybe 0284e2f fixed it? I had one successful login that had to actually solve the captcha. It’s tough to test thoroughly due to my home IP’s high trust with hCaptcha (due to solving hundreds of captchas…)

My suspicion is that it has to do with the hcaptcha.com/checkcaptcha/ call, since when a captcha isn’t served, that call isn’t made, and the login succeeds. However, I’ve pretty much mocked that request in its entirety.

Out of ideas for now, so just hoping this is the actual fix.

So now I’m getting capatchas to actually solve on the latest conteainer (instead of just clicking the link and it auto-solving w/ just a black screen) – i now need to select the images for the capatcha, but still ending up with the same errors after doing that.
