Connecting reCAPTCHA to your website
In addition to our native Honeypot protection, you can connect reCAPTCHA v3 to your contact forms to help you detect abusive traffic on your website without any user actions like clicking the “I'm not a robot” button.
Tip: reCAPTCHA v3 runs in the background, analyzes a user's behavior, and determines whether a user is a human or a harmful bot.
Sign up or sign in to an existing Google Cloud Console account:
Give a name to your future project and click Get Started button:
Note: You can name your project whatever you like.
