You can enter in the wrong captcha when using recaptcha an infinite number of times even when captcha.max.challenges is set in portal-ext.properties.

Reproduce in Trunk (revision:75434).
Can get "Maximum number of captcha attempts exceeded" message in Message Board and Web Form.
But still show "Text verification failed." instead of "Maximum number of captcha attempts exceeded" message in Create Account.

Being a part of community verifier program I tried reproducing this issue against Liferay 6.2.0 CE M4 tomcat bundle/MySql 5.5.17

And can reproduce issue with the mentioned steps:

Add following in portal-ext.properties file.
captcha.engine.impl=com.liferay.portal.captcha.recaptcha.ReCaptchaImpl
captcha.engine.recaptcha.key.private=6Ld7-QkAAAAAAHT1GTyO7sYaCFSP_NKCdMwrHMq_
captcha.engine.recaptcha.key.public=6Ld7-QkAAAAAAD6H-1W70K-J9MGBxVrh_IhQf5pP

captcha.check.portal.create_account=true
captcha.check.portal.send_password=true
captcha.check.portlet.message_boards.edit_category=false
captcha.check.portlet.message_boards.edit_message=true
captcha.max.challenges=2

Creating an account: before you log in, there's a link below the sign in button that say "create an account". Click on that and it should take you to a page to create a new account with a "Text Verification" captcha box.

Filled all required information correctly but incorrect captcha and submitted form, tried more than twice but still show "Text verification failed." instead of "Maximum number of captcha attempts exceeded" message in Create Account.

Hello everyone! We are in the process of removing component "Portlet" from LPS. Please make the necessary adjustments to affected filters. Thanks!
