Captcha useless

Does no one realise that the admin login captcha will do nothing at all to stop a brute force attack? The captcha answer is sent in cleartext in the html!
src="../Captcha.ashx?w=300&h=80&id=065375&sid=1&t=054202"

Can this be fixed please? I suggest you remove "CAPTCHA image on administrator login page to prevent brute force attacks" on the feature page until it is fixed.

That is because you haven't set your encryption key. Once you set the encryption key you will not see the captcha value in clear text.
