About Google reCAPTCHA

Google reCAPTCHA is a popular service providing anti-abuse security to help protect your web site. For example, A Hostvento hosting Optimized for WordPress utilizes the reCAPTCHA feature as an additional layer of security for your site. To integrate Google reCAPTCHA in an application, you register the app or web domain with Google’s reCAPTCHA service. After the domain is registered, Google provides reCAPTCHA keys.

There are two keys, the Site Key and the Secret Key. The Site Key and the Secret Key are also sometimes called the public and private key, respectively.

The Site Key is used to render the reCAPTCHA within a page, and the Secret Key is used for server-side validation. The keys are unique to the domain for which they are registered.

How to generate Google reCAPTCHA keys

  1. Use your web browser to go to Google’s reCAPTCHA site.
  2. Click the blue Admin console button on the upper right-hand side of the page:Admin Console
