Where reCAPTCHA is Applied

reCAPTCHA protects the following forms:
  • Registration: New account signup
  • Login: User authentication
  • Contact Form: Customer inquiries
  • Password Reset: Account recovery
  • Checkout: Payment processing
Secret Key Security: Keep your reCAPTCHA Secret Key confidential. Never expose it in client-side code or public repositories. It’s used server-side to verify reCAPTCHA responses.
reCAPTCHA v3 Recommended: Use reCAPTCHA v3 for better user experience. It works invisibly in the background and only challenges suspicious traffic. v2 requires user interaction for every submission.
