This means that logged in people (we only allow login via FAS) won't get a captcha.
This is needed for Adam's bots as the API captcha's aren't very stable.

The other one (on-login captcha) is a captcha that the plugin sometimes enabled
if it saw a lot of failed login attempts for all logins.
So when the spammers are trying to login a lot, they trigger this system, which
means that all API logins are rejected.
