This was discussed somewhere on the forums. The admins are aware of it and are fixing it. There is no security threat or anything to worry about. Just a minor bug.

It's just a bug.  It has happened before (months ago) and is just an annoyance, but not actually anything nefarious.  Just reload until a normal-length captcha shows.

Maybe the error message can be more intuitive like "password wrong" or "captcha wrong".

Many users are tricked in thinking the password they input is wrong when it isn't

As others have mentioned, it's just a bug. Refresh the page a couple times until you get a normal captcha.

I have heard that updating your Tor bundle helps with the bug, but I updated and it still happens to me so I'm unsure.
