Getting Started with Google Captcha

TL;DR: Protect your forms from bots and spam with Google reCAPTCHA.


What is Google Captcha?

Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) adds an extra layer of security to forms:

  • Login pages
  • Registration forms
  • Contact forms
  • Public submissions

How It Works

When enabled, users see a captcha challenge on forms. This blocks automated bots while allowing real users through.


Prerequisites

  1. ✅ Google Captcha module enabled
  2. ✅ Admin has configured reCAPTCHA keys

User Experience

  • You may see "I'm not a robot" checkbox
  • Sometimes asked to identify images
  • Invisible reCAPTCHA runs automatically
