Thanks for the report! I'm not sure I fully follow this though. Can you share a set of screenshots or a screencast showing the issue so we can look into it? Thanks in advance!

      Thank you for the immediate look into this.

      Again, I will state that this has been intermittent over the last few days. Prior to that, I am uncertain as to how long this has been happening.

      Testing again on this issue and so far things seem to be working again, but I am also recognizing that no Captcha is in place on the chooser login at this time. 

       

      So I would say its "working", but the actual captcha issue is not quite resolved. At least I would not expect it to be resolved until a captcha appears on the chooser login, and the login form itself does not disappear based on the security issue mentioned.

       

      Greg - were you able to find out any information since your last post?

        We were able to reproduce this, but I don't have an update from the team yet.

         

        The captcha usually isn't shown anyway though, and is only displayed when possibly needed, as determined by our automated abuse system, so it's expected that you wouldn't reliably see the captcha/captcha issue.
