There are still some issues. + +Currently the code verifies the CAPTCHA. If you get it right then you're fine. +If you get the CAPTCHA wrong then the current code tells formbuilder that +one of the fields is invalid. This stops the login from going through. +Unfortunately, formbuilder is caching this validity somewhere, and I haven't +found a way around that yet.
