There seems to be no properly functioning captcha solution for the login form when using the Bootstrap Darkroom theme. Plugins like PHP Captcha for Piwigo and Crypto Captcha have been tested, but they either fail to display or do not validate correctly once submitted. The login form renders, but the captcha logic does not integrate with the theme. To clarify, I want to add a captcha to the login screen.
This creates an unnecessary security gap. Even basic brute force protection benefits from a simple captcha at the login level. The current situation leaves Bootstrap Darkroom users without a straightforward way to add this layer of defense.
If anyone has a clean patch, template override, or a plugin configuration that makes captcha work reliably on the login form with Bootstrap Darkroom, it would be valuable to share. This is specifically about securing the login page, not the contact form

I updated the Crypto Captcha plugin so that it's compatible with Piwigo 16.1 and PHP 8.4. I have added a Captcha option to the Login form.

There is a pull request from my Github account: Modified Crypto Captcha on Github to the Piwigo team.
