Frequently asked
What is reCAPTCHA?›
reCAPTCHA is a security feature developed by Google that helps protect websites from automated bots and spam by requiring users to prove they are human by solving a challenge, typically identifying objects in images or typing down distorted text.
What are the different types of reCAPTCHA?›
There are three primary types: reCAPTCHA v1 (deprecated), reCAPTCHA v2 (checkbox or invisible), and reCAPTCHA v3 which uses a score-based system to determine if a user is human, without requiring user interaction.
Why are reCAPTCHAs important for website security?›
reCAPTCHAs are important because they prevent automated bots from performing actions on websites, such as creating fake accounts, spamming messages, or compromising system security, thereby protecting the website and its users from malicious activities.
Does reCAPTCHA work on mobile devices?›
Yes, reCAPTCHA is designed to work on both desktop and mobile devices, providing a consistent security measure across platforms.
How can I add reCAPTCHA to my website?›
To add reCAPTCHA to your website, you need to sign up for a reCAPTCHA API key on the Google reCAPTCHA website and integrate it into your site's code, following the official documentation for your chosen reCAPTCHA version (v2 or v3).
