Note: This requires that you are using FireFox/Mozilla. IE does not display the image. I am working trying to figure out why.

I have been working for some time now, off and on, to implement a different (if not better) mechanism for passcode security. Many security professionals swear by the Captcha. Basically and very high level, it attempts to create images that humans can read and programs cannot. Search Google for more information. I have implemented it as a test in the New User registration area. Once I am convinced it is working as well as it can, I will complete the site-wide implementation. Feedback is welcomed and I have set a Captcha Security forum up for support questions.
As of 6/15/2005 I am still working on the home page login. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. When it doesn't, you are redirected to the Your Account module Login screen. That works, so just login there.
