### External Services

The plugin can optionally load external CAPTCHA libraries on the login page when
you enable them in Settings  BasisLogin  CAPTCHA.

 * Google reCAPTCHA v2
    - Service: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/
    - Script loaded: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js
    - Data: Your site key is embedded to render the widget; user interactions are
      processed by Google to determine validity.
    - Purpose: Prevent automated login attempts.
    - Terms / Privacy: https://policies.google.com/terms, https://policies.google.

Notes:
 – No external requests are made unless you explicitly enable a CAPTCHA provider
and set a site key. – These scripts load only on the wp-login.php screen, not on
your site frontend.

## FAQ

### Does BasisLogin change the wp-login.php URL?

No. It customizes the appearance and adds controls around the default WordPress 
login experience without changing the login URL.

### How does autosave work?

Changes to fields on the settings page are saved automatically in the background(
debounced). You can still use the Save button; autosave provides convenience and
reduces data loss.

### What do the design presets do?

Presets apply a set of color and typography defaults (e.g., WordPress Classic, Minimal,
Dark). You can tweak any value afterward.

### Can I reset only part of my settings?

Yes. Each settings group offers a “Reset group” button to restore its values to 
sensible defaults.

### Is there an export/import feature?

Yes. In the Advanced section you can export all settings as JSON and import them
on another site. Imported values are sanitized and merged with your current settings.

### Does it work on multisite?

Yes. Network Admins can activate the plugin network‑wide or per site. Settings are
stored per site.

### Which CAPTCHA is supported?

The plugin provides a CAPTCHA integration layer (e.g., Google reCAPTCHA). Availability
depends on your configuration in the CAPTCHA tab.

### Will this slow down my site?

The plugin only affects the login screen and loads assets conditionally in the admin
to avoid impacting frontend performance.
