Prositeweb has developed a handy WordPress extension that allows users to easily embed a reCAPTCHA on their WordPress account creation or login page. This extension is available on WordPress.org. And it offers advanced features, including the ability to configure reCAPTCHA v2 or v3, choose the score to determine the level of bot suspicion and enable or disable reCAPTCHA as needed.

How the extension works

After installing the plugin, you can access its settings in the WordPress dashboard. You can then select the version of reCAPTCHA you want to use (v2 or v3) and set the score. A low score requires more checks, while a high score requires fewer checks. You can also decide to enable or disable reCAPTCHA at any time.

Advantages of the extension

This extension offers a series of significant benefits:

• Enhanced Security: reCAPTCHA helps protect your WordPress site from spam and malicious activity.
• Customization: With the ability to decide between reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 and set the score, you can customize the level of Security to suit your needs.
• Ease of use: The extension installs easily to configure and manage from the WordPress dashboard.
• Optimized user experience: by integrating reCAPTCHA, you ensure a spam-free experience for your users while maintaining high Security.

How to create reCAPTCHA API keys via Google

You will need API keys to use reCAPTCHA on your site, which you can get through Google. Here’s how:

• 1. Go to Google’s reCAPTCHA site (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/).
• 2. Click the “Admin Console” button in the upper-right corner.
• 3. Sign in to your Google account if you aren’t already.
• 4. Click the “+” button to register a new key.
• 5. Complete the registration form. Select the type of reCAPTCHA you want to use (v2 or v3) and provide the domain details you will use the reCAPTCHA on.
• 6. Click “Submit.”
• 7. You will then receive your API keys — a site key and a secret key — which you can enter into the Prositeweb WordPress plugin settings.

Conclusion

With Prositeweb’s reCAPTCHA extension, you can significantly improve the Security of your WordPress site while ensuring a smooth user experience.
