Hi everyone,

I just discovered reCAPTCHA from Google and I want to give you more information about it. You probably already know about CAPTCHA which is a way to avoid scams in your comments? The problem is that many bots are now becoming very good to overcome CAPTCHA. They are able to decrypt images and find the password in it.

reCAPTCHA is doing the same thing as a CAPTCHA, but in a different way. Instead of using an image with a password hidden it it, you only have to click in a checkbox! How does it works? Well... Google will not reveal it of course, to make sure bots developers won't create a bot to overcome it.

The speculations are that reCAPTCHA is looking at some of your habbits, cookies, mouse displacement, position of your click in the checkbox, etc. Of course, it is just a speculation, but reCAPTCHA is able to define a risk level to define if you are a bot or not.

At the end, we don't need to know how it works, we only want it to work! And no more hard time decrypting CAPTCHA images!

I wrote a small section on the captcha code about two months ago. I was curious to how to embed the code into a post, but wasn't not sure about its functions. There is a Captcha Code Plugin that may be helpful.
The post I wrote is https//my.wealthy affiliate.com/captchacodeplugin.
Hope this is helpful!

Hey Max,

Here's a Google search result explaining a fix: http://bit.ly/2fBhEZJ

Read through several of the posts in the search result to see which one sounds feasible.

Backup your website ... and then try each suggestion until you find one that works for you.

Hope this helps you.

I recently discovered Google reCaptcha too when I downloaded a contact form plugin and I had to create a reCaptcha account and so I appreciate this training because it gives me an idea of the benefits this can bring. Thank you for this training.
