I just noticed this and would have replied sooner if I'd seen it. We do use captchas sometimes for logins, especially when HN is under some sort of attack, which happens periodically. But we try to minimize it.

I'm told that hCaptcha would be better than you-know-who but haven't had the cycles to look into it yet.

We'd be happy to help, just drop us a line.

The enterprise version is probably what you want: includes a "99.9% passive" mode where most people will never see a challenge unless they look like an attacker, meaning you can leave it on all the time rather than having to firefight.
