Well, in fairness, there is no captcha to log in and once you are logged in you can stay logged in for basically forever.  The three questions are there only when you register and help keep spam bots out... something I think a lot of people appreciate.

when you signed up at your bank the first time you probably needed photo ID and a few other forums of ID.  I didn't require any.  When you sign in there is NO captcha.  It is just for registration.  There are still bots that get through.

At least Leaf doesn't make us sign in with Captcha every single time we want to check our balance (messages) ;D, right 123, right SS (sometimes)?
