Interesting. If so, this would be a change in their policy. At one time,
Google did bring up a captcha test if I missed the username/password two or
more times in a row.
I never tried intentionally giving the wrong password more than twice, but
I'd heard that doing it a few times more results in logins to your account
being locked out for a while (couple of days?), so I was not willing to try.
If Google has since changed this, it does sound like a problem. Perhaps
you should address this question to Google ("send feedback", or report a
problem).
