Craft reCAPTCHA 3 Overview
Google's Recaptcha service is the industry leader in determining whether a website visitor is human or robot. Their newest version (v3) does not even require any human input. It will determine whether the user is human based on their visitor characteristics. Unfortunately, the request to Google must come from a server, not a browser, which is where this plugin comes in. It attempts to take the busy work out of validating recaptcha with Google by providing a drop-in solution.
Configuring Craft reCAPTCHA 3
To configure the plugin, simply provide the site key and secret key in the settings screen. These two values are provided when you create a new site in the admin panel: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html.
Using Craft reCAPTCHA 3
To validate users, use the {% include ['_recaptcha/frontend'] %} tag on the frontend. This will inject a script to communicate between your website and Google.
You can also pass the action name by passing the action variable in the include i.e. {% include ['_recaptcha/frontend'] with {'action': 'login'} %}. The default value for action is "contact". Information about Actions can be found here.
A function will be called with the following signature: window.recaptcha_callback = function(response){ ... }
This function will need to be defined at the global scope (on the window object). The response object passed into the function will contain a score key with a value between one and zero. Use this value to determine how to modify your website.
