Hi

On one of my sites the plugin is storing a lot of data in the wp_options table. When we first noticed this it was at 35GB!

I constantly receive an admin notification saying that the plugin was bypassed on XML-RPC

I am having to optimise the table every day and will try a cron schedule soon to keep resetting it

Do you have any ideas what could be casuing this?

Thank you for your time ?

This plugin stores a maximum of nine (9) variables in the wp_options table. All of them have option names starting with login_nocaptcha*. They are updated, but should not be added as duplicates. So, it is likely something else is filling up your options table, or that there is a problem with the unique keys constraint on the table such that it allows numerous duplicates.

The error about xml-rpc tells you that people are logging in in ways that no captcha plugin can help protect you about–using the xml-rpc protocol directly. If you are not expecting this, you may wish to consider disabling this option: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-disable-xml-rpc-in-wordpress/
