<p>You already know <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/give/" rel="ugc">GiveWP</a> is one of the highest rated, most downloaded, and best supported donation plugins for WordPress — so do spammers and credit card thieves. That’s why we created reCAPTCHA for Give.</p>
<p>Donation forms are a favorite target for spam bots and fraudsters looking to test stolen credit card numbers. It can become a serious issue, affecting site performance & lead to your payment gateway suspending or even closing your account. That’s where <a href="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/about/" rel="nofollow ugc">Google’s reCAPTCHA</a> comes in.</p>
<h4>How reCAPTCHA works</h4>
<p>reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine & adaptive challenges to keep malicious software from engaging in abusive activities on your site. Meanwhile, legitimate users will be able to login, make purchases, view pages, or create accounts and fake users will be blocked.</p>

<h4>reCAPTCHA may not be the best option</h4>
<p>reCAPTCHA may not be the best option for some sites. It could slow down the donation experience, look unsightly and may harm your donations more than benefit them. Luckily there’s a great alternative to reCAPTCHA that supports GiveWP donation forms, <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/zero-spam/" rel="ugc">WordPress Zero Spam</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re still receiving high amounts of spam and fraudulent transactions, reCAPTCHA is a great option as your last line of defense.</p>

<p>This plugin was created to stop human spammers.  Captcha or other image methods do not work when an actual person is spamming your site.  This plugin helps to resolve this issue.  It allows your to create a custom question and answer on the registration page of a wordpress site that only the users in your demographic can answer.  An example (and the reason I created this plugin) is a school track website.  I would get up to 3 to 5 bogus registrations a day.  I added this plugin with the question “What city is your school in?” and that number went to 0.  Someone in another area is not going to know this question, however anyone who would/should be registering would defintely know the answer.  This plugin will not work for everyone but it certainly was a perfect fit for me and I know it will help others too.</p>


ARS Reg Secure

This plugin helps block bogus registrations by allowing a custom registration field and answer.
