checkify

Checkify helps WordPress site owners reduce CAPTCHA friction by using privacy-first human verification.
Instead of asking visitors to solve puzzles, Checkify lets visitors complete a verification flow and return a verification result to the WordPress site. This can be used on pages, forms, or custom flows where the site owner wants to request human verification or age verification.
Checkify is designed around privacy-first verification. The WordPress site receives a verification result, not unnecessary personal identity data.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>CAPTCHA alternative for WordPress</li>
<li>Privacy-first human verification</li>
<li>Age verification profiles (18+, 21+, 25+)</li>
<li>Site connection using a QR code</li>
<li>Local QR rendering in the browser</li>
<li>Shortcode support using [checkify_verify]</li>
<li>Live Checkify API integration</li>
<li>No external QR code generation service</li>
</ul>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Install and activate the Checkify plugin.</li>
<li>Open the Checkify settings page in WordPress.</li>
<li>Generate a connection QR code.</li>
<li>Scan the QR code in the Checkify app to connect your WordPress site.</li>
<li>Copy your Checkify Pass ID and paste it into the plugin settings.</li>
<li>Add [checkify_verify] to the page where you want to show human verification.</li>
</ol>
The shortcode creates a verification request, renders a QR code locally in the visitor’s browser, polls for verification status, and stores a temporary local verification result for that visitor.
<h3>External services</h3>
This plugin connects to Checkify services to provide human verification.
Service used:
<ul>
<li>Checkify API: https://checkify.me</li>
<li>Checkify website: https://checkify.me</li>
</ul>
The plugin connects to Checkify when:
<ul>
<li>A site administrator creates a site connection claim.</li>
<li>A site administrator polls the status of a site connection claim.</li>
<li>A connected WordPress site creates a verification request.</li>
<li>A connected WordPress site checks the status of a verification request.</li>
<li>A connected WordPress site confirms a completed verification result.</li>
</ul>
The plugin may send the following data to Checkify services:
<ul>
<li>The WordPress site domain.</li>
<li>A Checkify site identifier.</li>
<li>A Checkify installation identifier.</li>
<li>A Checkify Pass identifier configured by the site administrator.</li>
<li>Verification request identifiers.</li>
<li>Verification status tokens.</li>
<li>Request timestamps.</li>
<li>Cryptographic signatures used to authenticate the WordPress installation.</li>
</ul>
The plugin does not use an external QR code generation service. QR codes are generated locally in the visitor’s browser using the bundled QRCode.js library.

CF7 Apps – Honeypot, Database, Redirection, Webhook, and Addons for Contact Form 7

Its not working. I did everything i can on the youtube every possible solution but its not working still sending.

Hi I think i found out that your plugin has a conflict to my https://wordpress.org/plugins/multiline-files-for-contact-form-7/ if this is activated.

its not working

didn't help to prevent attacker sending spam a lot.
just not sending the form when honeypot is filled is too much of information for an attacker.

Lots of Spam


It worked better before, now the attackers go past it and there is a lot of spam.


Before it was better


This used to be a simple, free, honeypot plugin for CF7It has been taken over and now it is a useless piece of bloatware.


I feel betrayed


I've been using this plugin for several years and even published a tutorial in French (Comment configurer Honeypot for Contact Form 7) on my own website to help people set it up right.



I really liked the way it was lightweight, efficient, and non-invasive. What a pity to discover in an update: yet another totally useless dashboard.



I understand the need for upsells to fund the development process, I really do. But it pisses me off to see this enshitification something that was high-quality before.



It really makes people want to fork the plugin to clean it up.



Please bring us back the quality plugin you made, and stop with the useless option pages for pity's sake.


yet another totally useless dashboard


The honeypot either don't work at all, or is blocking everything for no reason, with everything detected as spam.



ContactForm7 is a truely good plugin. But instead of adding new broken/useless features everywhere (AI generated forms ? seriously ?), please juste make sure the basics work fine.



Honeypot never worked. Adding a simple 2+2 = ? was infinitely more efficient in blocking spam.


Broken antispam
