How Do I Get a Google reCAPTCHA Api Key?

Last updated on January 10, 2017

Google’s reCAPTCHA system is an easy and effective way to protect your forms from bots. With the Registrations plugin, you can easily use reCAPTCHA to ensure that all your registrants are real people.

What is reCAPTCHA?


You’ve probably seen it before. Users click a simple checkbox before submitting a form, and Google figures out if the user is a human or a bot. If a bot tries to fill out your registration form, we will stop them for you. All you have to do is get an api key and add a recaptcha input to your form.

How do I get an api key?

  1. Start at https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#list.
  2. Under “Label”, you can add a description to help you keep track of the recaptcha, such as the name of the form you are adding it to.
  3. Select reCAPTCHA v2.
  4. Under “Domains”, enter the domain name of your of your site, e.g. “roundupwp.com”.
  5. Accept the terms and click “Register”.
  6. Under the “Keys” section, find your site key and the secret key.

How do I add a recaptcha?
