S2pro login widget blocked by Jetpack

Hi

A quick message which can be useful for others having the same problem. After installing S2member pro, and when trying to use the S2 login widget, there was an annoying problem with one of Jetpack security options : Brute force attack protection. This option was adding a math captcha (to WP default login), which was preventing the S2 login widget to work as intended (the math captcha was appearing just after a user tried to log with the S2 widget, the user being then redirected to the “normal” WP login form after having answered to the captcha, having to log again).

Took me some time to find what was this problem. Simply deactivating this Jetpack option solved it.

Best regards
