How to Enable CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA in OpnForm?

Prevent bots from submitting responses to your forms by enabling CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA protection in OpnForm. Here's a quick guide to set it up:


Steps to Activate Bot Protection


  1. Open Your Form:
    • Go to the form you want to secure and open it in the editor.
  1. Navigate to Security Settings:
    • Click on Settings from the menu.
    • Select the Security & Access tab.
  1. Turn on Bot Protection:
    • Switch on the Bot Protection toggle.
  1. Select a Protection Option:
    • Choose between reCAPTCHA or hCaptcha as your preferred method for preventing bot submissions.



Understanding CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA


Both methods are designed to block bots but operate differently:


  • CAPTCHA: A simple test requiring users to complete tasks like typing distorted text or solving visual puzzles. It’s effective but can sometimes be inconvenient.
  • reCAPTCHA: A smarter, more user-friendly solution by Google. It uses AI and behavior analysis to detect bots, often requiring minimal input, such as clicking a checkbox or identifying objects in images. In some cases, it operates invisibly in the background.


Choosing the Best Option


  • For Seamless User Experience: Opt for reCAPTCHA, as it’s designed to be easy and efficient for users.
  • For Open-Source Enthusiasts: hCaptcha is an excellent choice if you prefer a non-Google solution.
