reCAPTCHA is a free service from Google that uses machine learning to distinguish between humans and bots. It is available in two flavors:
reCAPTCHA v2: This is the older version of reCAPTCHA. It asks users to solve a simple challenge, such as clicking on a checkbox or typing a few letters from an image.
reCAPTCHA v3: This is the newer version of reCAPTCHA. It is more invisible to users and does not require them to solve a challenge. Instead, it uses machine learning to assess the risk of a submission being spam or malicious.
To secure your lead forms with reCAPTCHA, you will need to create a Google reCAPTCHA account and generate a site key and secret key. You can then add these keys to your lead form.
Here are the steps on how to secure your lead forms with reCAPTCHA:
Go to the Google reCAPTCHA website: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/
Click on the "reCAPTCHA v3 admin console" button.
Create a new account and generate a site key and secret key.
Add the site key and secret key to your WP Maps Account.
Once you have added reCAPTCHA, it will start to block spam and malicious submissions.
