I hate the new captcha's so much. I really don't think they're needed on one's login page--at least for the first attempt or two. Strongbox may be given some flack now, but one of the neat things they did (and I've no idea if they 'created' this, but...) was the 'afterfail' plugin. Basically, that annoying 'choose 4 faces' captcha would only show after a failed login.
We use something like this now after a few bad login attempts because really: most legit surfers probably have their passwords already saved. It's mainly the ones who are guessing usernames, brute forcing, etc. who will see those captchas this way. Keep the login experience as easy as possible for your real users and only start introducing 'inconveniences' when the authenticity of who's logging in becomes something you need to question.
