WPS - Captcha Wordpress plugin
==============================

Very simplified captcha security added on Wordpress Login. This will prevent basic brute force attacks on the form. Is not bulletproof but will discard some bots. Highly inspired from [wp-limit-login-attempts](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-limit-login-attempts/)
