Google reCaptcha

M2

To keep websites free from spam and abuse from bots, Google provides Google reCAPTCHA free of charge. Thanks to the ability to analyze and distinguish accesses by bots from humans, reCAPTCHA protects your websites from abusive activities of automated software. However, valid users can still pass through this shield with ease. Working automatically on your website, Google reCAPTCHA is beyond spam and abuse protection. As mentioned by Google, CAPTCHA helps digitize text, annotate images, and build machine learning datasets. Hence, Google reCAPTCHA will help a lot in book prevention, map improvement, and AI problem-solving.

• ReCAPTCHA: Google reCAPTCHA is typically a checkbox that has to be clicked on to verify whether the user is a human or a bot. By hitting on the checkbox, the user will either go through immediately or be required to do a task to confirm that he/she is a real human.
• Invisible reCAPTCHA: Different from reCAPTCHA, the user is not required to hit on a checkbox to be validated. With the automatical analysis technology, invisible reCAPTCHA only appears once it doubts the existence of bots. Therefore, your users do not get annoyed by being challenged to validate themselves. Invisible reCAPTCHA will eliminate all negative impacts of users' interruptions on the conversion rate. 

Google ReCAPTCHA extension developed for Magento 2 assists online businesses in creating a shield that protects your store from spams and abusive activities from automated software. Beside visible reCAPTCHA, this extension supports invisible reCAPTCHA, which significantly enhances user experience and conversion rates. Your website users are not required to click on a checkbox to validate themselves. This module automatically analyzes and only shows Google reCAPTCHA checkbox when it doubts the accesses by bots. You can add reCAPTCHA to any forms on both the frontend and backend of your business website.

Account & Pricing

A Google reCAPTCHA account is required, and no additional fees for the service apply. It's not necessary to own a business account to use the Google reCAPTCHA extension.  The account is not created during extension installation. To register a Google reCAPTCHA account, please visit here.

After registering, you will be automatically redirected to the reCAPTCHA management site where you can get reCAPTCHA client key and reCAPTCHA secret key.

How Does The Extension Work?

Mageplaza Google reCAPTCHA helps keep your online business from doubted break-ins at both frontend and backend. At the admin login panel, when the failed login attempts reach the upper limit which is already set or admin forgets the password, reCAPTCHA will appear to verify the authorization of the account. To finish the identification, users need to click the checkbox. This process is similar to the reCAPTCHA verification process at the frontend.

Features

• Implement reCAPTCHA to unlimited kinds of forms on your store
