We are not sure why solving a captcha can be a better solution than the existing solution of a Fail2Ban jail monitoring login attempts. After all, with a captcha, users are forced to fulfill an extra step, do extra input and clicks just to login. It would make the login process more difficult for them and slow the process down while at the same time it does not provide any extra security. Moreover, many captcha solutions have violated EU GDPR. Also, with a captcha, this will not prevent bots from hammering the server with requests, hence causing unnecessary cpu load.
Instead, Plesk has a very secure and effective solution to block bots from testing passwords: Please use the existing "plesk-panel" Fail2Ban jail (Tools & Settings > IP Address Banning).

No update. i think its a feature that can be turned on and off its something that easy to implement by PLESK team.

Please add hcaptcha in the login panel for more security.

I've seen a bunch of suggestions for this exact feature. The existing option is garbage as it doesn't even support additional admin accounts.
