...ie. Oh, and just to clarify: Since I do consider CAPTCHAs to be generally evil, the 'backup' login option would only appear while throttling was active.

...anagement portal" isn't exactly simple. But isn't JavaScript slow / bad / evil / spawn-of-the-devil? JavaScript has some weird oddities, but with "the good parts" there's a very powerful language there, and in any case, JavaScript is THE language on the client (browser).
