Google reCAPTCHA

Learn how to turn on Google reCAPTCHA to reduce spam submissions on your site. 

Setup

To get the Google reCAPTCHA v2 keys (site key and secret key), follow these steps:

  • Access the reCAPTCHA Admin Console by navigating to the Google reCAPTCHA website and click on the "Admin Console" link.
    • You may need to log in with your Google account.
  • Register a New Site: Click the "+" button or the option to "Register a new site."
  • Provide Site Details:
    • Label: Enter a descriptive name for your reCAPTCHA instance (e.g., "My Website Contact Form").
    • reCAPTCHA type: Select "reCAPTCHA v2."
      • You can then choose between the "I'm not a robot" checkbox, Invisible reCAPTCHA badge, or Android.
    • Domains: Add the domain(s) of your website where the reCAPTCHA will be used.
    • Accept Terms of Service: Read and accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service.
  • Submit: Click the "Submit" button.


Retrieve Keys

  • After submitting, Google will generate a Site Key and a Secret Key for your reCAPTCHA v2 instance. Copy both of these keys.
  • Navigate in Admin to Settings > Website > Google settings and click "add site key and secret key."

  • Paste the already copied Site key and Secret key into the corresponding section, and click "Submit".

 

  • These keys are essential for integrating reCAPTCHA v2 into your website or application.
  • The Site Key is used on the client-side to render the reCAPTCHA widget, while the Secret Key is used on the server-side to verify user responses.

You will need to select "reCAPTCHA v2" and the "Invisible reCAPTCHA badge" version.
