Bit Form Integration With reCAPTCHA V3

Watch the full tutorial here!

Google’s popular anti-spam service, **Google reCAPTCHA**, has been updated to v3, making it easier for humans to use while protecting against bots more effectively than ever. The new ReCaptcha v3 works differently from the older version. It no longer relies on the 2D images displayed in an annoying box but instead, based on some factors like the user’s IP address & other previous interactions on the browser, it determines whether it’s human or bot.

Authorize your site

⇛ Follow the path: App Settings => reCAPTCHA => reCaptchav3 => Google reCAPTCHA Admin.

⇛ After navigating to the admin dashboard, select the (+) icon to configure your WordPress site.

⇛ Now set a Label to identify it later. Example: Bit form reCAPTCHA V3. Select the reCAPTCH V3 as the reCAPTCHA type.

⇛ Then copy the domain name from Bit Form & paste it on the Domains field of the admin dashboard of Google reCAPTCHA. Select the terms of service & press the Submit button to continue.

⇛ Now, copy the Site key & Secret key, then paste these on the related fields of Bit Form. Save the whole configuration & you are done with registering your website!

Configure reCAPTCHA V3 on Bit Form

⇛ After finishing the reCAPTCHA V3 setting, create a new form or select an existing form to set up reCAPTCHA to see how it works.

⇛ To set reCAPTCHA on the form, follow the path: Settings => Form Settings => Enable reCAPTCHA V3 .

⇛ Now copy the shortcode of the created form & paste it on any page as your preference. Go to the front end of the page & if you see the reCAPTCHA badge at the right bottom of the page, then the configuration is successful.

⇛ If you want, you can hide the reCAPTCHA badge by toggling the option Hide ReCaptcha badge from settings.

⇛ From the Advanced Settings option, you have to set the Tolerance level which we can denote as a threshold value. The tolerance score is divided by – Low (0.3), Medium (0.6) & High (0.9). Basically, reCAPTCHA sends a score that helps to detect spam bots. When the score sent by reCAPTCHA is less than the tolerance score, you set earlier, the submission will be considered as spamming & there will be shown an error message. You can edit the score message option. As much as the tolerance level number gets closer to 1 reCAPTCHA will identify the activity as Human Activity. Now update the form.

Hence your website will be protected from unwanted form submission by a spam bot!
