    Hi
    Am buidling a site and would like to use the LOGIN addon and a suitable contact form.
    I see it is possible to use LOGIN with or without a Captcha.
    Please could someone confirm, how safe is the LOGIN snippet WITHOUT Captcha enabled?
    Thanks
    Steve

      If there are no security issues with this addon, this is as safe as the password you are using.
      If you use a simple password someone might be able to login, by guessing it

          There are several ways of foiling ’bot form attacks. See the SPForm snippet for functions that you can adapt to any form. I use the "empty field" function with eForm. I haven’t had any contact form spam since I implemented it.
