When you say “does not work” can you give me some more information on what does or does not happen? * Thread Starter [Jean Ferreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanferreira/) * (@jeanferreira) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7138875) * After filling username and password the plugin (wpdirauth) already authenticates. The captcha (si-captcha ou captcha) is ignored. Just do not leave blank the capctha and authentication is done. * Plugin Author [Paul Gilzow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gilzow/) * (@gilzow) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7138876) * _as of right now_, no, it wont work with either of those captcha plugins. Redoing the authentication section **is** on my to-do list, and at that point, should work with those plugins. * Plugin Author [Paul Gilzow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gilzow/) * (@gilzow) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139018) * **jeanferreira**, if I send you some beta code, would you be willing to test it? * Thread Starter [Jean Ferreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanferreira/) * (@jeanferreira) * [10 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139019) * Hi, yes I can do the test with si-captcha and captcha. * Plugin Author [Paul Gilzow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gilzow/) * (@gilzow) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139081) * sorry for the delay. Can you give t[his version (1.7.16 beta)](http://pastebin.com/eME3Vewu) a test and see if it works with those captchas? I’m pretty confident it’s going to play nicely with [Captcha by BestWebSoft](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/captcha/), not as much with the other one, but would like to know if it doesn’t. * Thread Starter [Jean Ferreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanferreira/) * (@jeanferreira) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139082) * With new beta version. * Captcha by BestWebSoft – work, but autentication failed (password error) si- captcha – not work * I’ll try to see the error in the log messages. * Thanks. * Plugin Author [Paul Gilzow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gilzow/) * (@gilzow) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139083) * Interesting. The only time you should get a password error is if the user is NOT an AD-auth user and the login failed. * What happens with si-captcha? * Thread Starter [Jean Ferreira](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeanferreira/) * (@jeanferreira) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/it-does-not-work-with-captcha-plugins/#post-7139084) * Hi * With wpDirAuth (7.1.16 beta), same situation.

As I mentioned, redoing that piece of the plugin was on my to do list, I just needed to find the time. Finally found it. * I’m also working on version 1.9.x which will include numerous hooks that will extend its capabilities.
