Set Captcha to come up after 3 login attempts in FEU

My CMSMS and Modules are current with 1.10.3
I am using FEU and Custom Content to protect a page and would like to have captcha come up after a set number (1, 2 ,3) of failed login attempts.
I do not see this as a feature in FEU, solutions on the forums or anywhere else for CMSMS.
Is this easily done? If so how?
Thank You

To my knowledge, this is not a feature of FEU or CC, and would therefore require that the module editor add the feature (probably would be a sponsored feature), or that you hack the source (not recommended as it renders your installation unsupported, and your changes will be lost during an upgrade in the future.

Might be possible, using a couple of clever UDTs.
Use a UDT in your site template to scan for 3 failed logins (see below). If OK, use nocaptcha=1. If violating, omit this parameter.
In the login template, you can detect a failure by passing $error, and with a UDT, log the failed attempts in the DB.

Thank you for your replies. I was hoping for a simpler solution and my client is no longer pressing the issue.
The logic of creating a couple of clever UDT's makes sense however my skills in this area are more of being able to edit verses create.
