Captcha in the admin panel is a highly recommended security feature and especially for the production sites it is most advised to have the Captcha enabled. But in the case of development environments that too when working in local machines, it is a bit annoying to keep entering the captcha as we may be switching between accounts for various reasons and hence it can be disabled in the admin panel when working in development environments. Today we look through the simple step to disable captcha on admin login page directly from the database.
In order to disable the captcha in the admin login page, you will first need to login to the MySQL or MariaDB console terminal and select the database that is mapped with the Magento instance using the ‘use’ command.
Once the database is switched, you will need to execute the following query:
update `core_config_data` SET value=0 WHERE path LIKE '%admin/captcha/enable%';
This will disable captcha on admin login page by directly updating the value the database.
