Google reCAPTCHA V3 Instructions
reCAPTCHA by Google is a free service that protects your website from spam and abuse. It's designed to be friendly to humans, much more friendly than image-based CAPTCHA. It uses advanced risk analysis techniques to tell humans and bots apart to protect your website from spam.
Below are instructions for you to set up Google reCAPTCHA and pass the information on to your website developer.
Step 1 - Set up the reCAPTCHA with Google
To get started with reCAPTCHA you must first have a Google account. Once you are logged into Google go to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin to register your new website. The usage of reCAPTCHA is limited to the domains that you register. It's recommended that if you have multiple domains that you register each one separately.
- Label - Give a meaningful, but short name that describes your site.
- reCAPTCHA type - Choose "reCAPTCHA v3".
- Domains - Enter the domain or domains that you plan to use reCAPTCHA on.
- Owners - this should be your Google account email.
- Accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service.
- Check off the "Send alerts to owners".
- Click the "Submit" button.
Step 2 - Get the API keys
Once you've registered your site, you will need to get the API credentials. Google reCAPTCHA gives you a "Site Key" and "Secret Key"
You will need to copy those values and pass them on to your website developer.
- Copy the "Site key" value and the "Secret key" value from the Google reCAPTCHA page.
- Email them your developer.
Below is a sample email that you can use
Here are the Google reCAPTCHA codes for my website.
Site key: PASTE_YOUR_SITE_KEY_HERE
Secret key: PASTE_YOUR_SECRET_KEY_HERE
Thank you
