Description

Plugin protects WordPress website forms from spam and brute-force attacks with Google reCAPTCHA. There is no additional user-unfriendly options, just choose captcha version, enter keys and optionally set captcha theme, size or badge position – nothing more!

What forms are protected with reCAPTCHA?

  • Login form
  • Reset password form
  • New password form
  • Registration form
  • Comment form
  • Lite Contact Form
  • Contact Form 7

The reCAPTCHA verification will be required only for not logged in users.
