Configuring CAPTCHA in the Responsive Newsletter Popup Module
Protect your newsletter signup forms from spam and ensure only genuine users subscribe with the CAPTCHA options available in the Responsive Newsletter Popup module. This guide explains how to enable and configure CAPTCHA to enhance the security of your signup process.
1. Enable CAPTCHA
Enable CAPTCHA: Toggle this option to enable or disable CAPTCHA for your newsletter popup.
Recommendation: Always enable CAPTCHA to block automated bots and ensure valid signups.
2. CAPTCHA Types
Choose a CAPTCHA type based on your security needs and user experience preferences:
- Google reCAPTCHA - V2: A simple "I'm not a robot" checkbox for user verification.
- Google reCAPTCHA - V3: An invisible CAPTCHA that runs in the background, assigning a score based on user interaction to assess legitimacy.
- Image CAPTCHA: Challenge users with image-based puzzles. Select from three difficulty levels:
- Easy: Basic challenges, such as identifying objects in images.
- Medium: Moderately complex visual tasks.
- Difficult: Advanced puzzles for maximum security.
3. Setting Up Google reCAPTCHA
If you select Google reCAPTCHA V2 or V3, you'll need to provide the following:
- Site key & Secret key: Obtain these keys from Google to activate reCAPTCHA on your website.
- Instructions to get keys: Click the “How to get Site Key and Secret Key?” link in the module for detailed guidance on acquiring these keys.
Tips for CAPTCHA Configuration
- Choose based on user experience: For minimal user interaction, use Google reCAPTCHA V3. For visible verification, Google reCAPTCHA V2 or image-based CAPTCHAs are ideal.
- Match CAPTCHA difficulty to security needs: High-traffic sites or sensitive forms may benefit from more challenging CAPTCHA types.
- Test before going live: Ensure your chosen CAPTCHA type works seamlessly with your popup design and signup process.
