recaptcha for newsletter subscription

fabianus · ‎09-20-2018

Hello,

I installed Google ReCaptcha as explained here and it works:

https://docs.magento.com/m2/ce/user_guide/stores/security-google-recaptcha.html

BUT I do not find any option to activate it for the newsletter subscription form.

Thanks a lot for any feedback !

Best regards,

Fabianus

using magento community edition 2.2.1

By default, Magento doesn't have captcha on Newsletter.

If you want to add you have to add it manually or you can check out this extension

And I would recommend implementing invisible captcha instead of ReCaptcha as in invisible captcha user don't have to click to verify captcha until they spamming

Hello @fabianus,

Please try again with following steps for add reCAPTCHA on site

Step 1: Install Google reCAPTCHA

You can install the module using the following composer command:
Install Module
```
composer require msp/recaptcha:2.0.0
```
If you already have installed a Magento instance, you need to run the following commands to enable the module:
Enable Module
```
php bin/magento module:enable --all
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
```
Troubleshooting
If you have issues with reCAPTCHA, you can disable it from the command-line. This will disable the module for backend access.
Disable Module
```
php bin/magento msp:security:recaptcha:disable
```

Step 2: Generate Google reCAPTCHA keys
Follow the instructions in the user guide to enable and configure Google reCAPTCHA. To learn more, see:

Google reCAPTCHA requires a pair of API keys to enable. You can get these keys free of charge through the reCAPTCHA site. Before generating the keys, consider the type of reCAPTCHA you want to use.

Visit the Google reCAPTCHA page, and log in to your account.
Enter a Label for the keys. For example, enter Magento. You only need one set of keys for your entire Magento instance.
Choose the type of reCAPTCHA that you want to use:
reCAPTCHA V2 Verifies with a button click.
Invisible reCaptcha Verifies in the background without interaction.
In the Domains text box, enter a list of domains without the HTTP or HTTPS prefix, one per line. Google verifies the addresses entered.
- Add your Magento instance domain and any subdomains.
- You can add localhost, other local VM domains, and staging domains as needed for testing.
Mark the checkbox to Accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service.
(Optional) Mark the Send alerts to owners checkbox to send notification if Google detects issues or suspicious traffic. https://www.screencast.com/t/vOxz2E5w1Y
Tap Register. and do the following:
a. When the domain(s) you added appear at the top of the page, choose the Magento domain to get your keys.
b. Scroll down to the Adding reCAPTCHA to your site section and expand Keys. You will need these keys when enabling Google reCAPTCHA. https://www.screencast.com/t/gRzNq7C9

Step 3: Configure Google reCAPTCHA in Magento

Sign in to the Admin of your Magento store. On the Admin sidebar, tap Stores. Then under Settings, choose Configuration.
In the upper-right corner, set Store View to “Default Config.”
In the panel on the left under Security, choose Google reCAPTCHA. Then, expand the General section, and enter the following generated keys:
Google API website key
Google API secret key
