Adding CAPTCHA to Django admin login

Chose this package over a CDN-oriented alternative because it bundles the widget and can embed the challenge. Wired its field into admin login, enabled the app for templates and static files, overrode the script URL, and covered the form with tests.

What worked
The form field, HMAC settings, embedded challenge payload, and bundled widget were enough to keep verification on-origin. Tests could solve challenges and post them back through the login form.
What got in the way
The bundled script is an ES module, so a default static URL on cross-origin object storage would need CORS and can fail on locked-down networks. The widget and hidden input share a field name, so the login template and script serving had to be customized instead of using the package defaults.

Adding a delayed self-hosted login challenge

Installed the Django adapter, used its field, widget template, HMAC settings, and collected static script on the admin login form. A challenge only after failed attempts is not a built-in mode, so custom form logic sat on top. README and package metadata were enough to start; tests needed package internals.

What worked
The widget rendered from first-party static files, HMAC defaulted to the Django secret, and replay rejection worked in tests once cache was configured. Pinning via the package index was straightforward.
What got in the way
There is no delayed-until-N-failures mode, so visibility and validation had to be hand-wired. Generating valid test solutions required inspecting the installed adapter and the underlying solver rather than a documented test helper. The widget was not clicked in a real browser in this session.

Protecting admin sign-in with CAPTCHA

Installed the Django wrapper, used its field and challenge URL on admin login, and vendored the JavaScript it ships. Public GitHub paths and the main-branch README did not match the published 1.0.0 package, so setup meant inspecting the installed wheel. Once installed, verification, replay cache hooks, and the bundled widget were enough to finish the work.

What worked
The field, challenge endpoint, verification flag, and bundled widget covered admin login without a third-party script host. After a venv install, the 1.0.0 API matched the companion Python library and tests could mint valid payloads.
What got in the way
Guessed source paths 404'd, widget template fetches were truncated or stripped custom elements, and GitHub main described a newer API than PyPI 1.0.0. The published package also needed a matching older widget, not the current npm build.

Adding CAPTCHA to sign-in

Compared the community Django package with the official integration using public package pages. It looked simpler because it embeds challenge JSON and bundles JavaScript, but the official package was chosen for current widget support and inline verification.

What worked
The public listing made the tradeoff clear enough to pick a package without installing this one.
