Codeigniter: Replace captcha in Tank_auth

Question

Has anyone ever tried to replace the default captcha in Tank_Auth with their own customized captcha? The default captcha for Tank_Auth is just too difficult for most users. I want to replace it with Cool Captcha and would like to know if replacing it is a good or bad idea.

I recently did this. I replaced Codeigniter's default catpcha with Cool Captcha. Download a copy of it in my github Tank_Auth fork.

Follow the below mentioned 2 simple steps.

Go to 'yourprojectname/application/config/tank_auth.php'.
Search for $config['captcha_registration'] = TRUE; make it FALSE

I'm doing this atm. You might want to do some research on captcha first though. A lot of these are even easier to get past if they are easy to read.

Check out this related question: Most effective form of CAPTCHA?

And these two blog posts dealing with that same question: http://www.evengrounds.com/developers/alternatives-to-captcha and http://www.sitepoint.com/captcha-alternatives/

Of course it all depends what and where you use your captcha.
