Captchinoo, admin login page protection with Google recaptcha vs ReCaptcha Integration for WordPress

Your login page is the single most attacked page on any WordPress site. Bots hit wp-login.php around the clock, guessing username and password combinations thousands of times a day. Captchinoo puts a human verification step in front of that form, so automated scripts are stopped before they ever reach your password check. Install it, pick the captcha style you like, and you are protected. There is nothing else to configure. Three captcha styles, one click apart Slide to unlock — a lightweight swipe slider, just like unlocking a phone. No external service, no API keys, works on desktop and touch devices. Icon captcha — the visitor picks the one icon that does not belong in the row. Friendly, image based, and no typing required. Google reCAPTCHA v2 — the familiar “I’m not a robot” checkbox, backed by Google’s own bot detection. Why site owners choose Captchinoo No puzzles to read. No distorted letters and no math questions. Your users are not punished for logging in. Genuinely lightweight. Only the assets for the captcha you actually selected are loaded, and only on the login page. Nothing is queued on the front end of your site. Works with caching. The login page is never cached by page caching plugins, so Captchinoo stays reliable where other captcha plugins break. Translation ready. Every string is translatable and the plugin ships with full text domain support. Zero configuration required. The slide captcha works the moment you activate the plugin — no account, no keys, no signup. Captchinoo Pro — three more ways to lock down your login The free plugin gives you three captcha styles for your WordPress login form. Captchinoo Pro adds three stronger layers on top: Two factor authentication (2FA) — the most powerful protection in the plugin. 2FA adds a second identity check on top of the password: the user confirms the login from their mobile device, so a stolen, leaked, or guessed password on its own is no longer enough to get into your site. Google reCAPTCHA v3 — invisible protection that never interrupts your users. Instead of asking anyone to click a box or solve a challenge, reCAPTCHA v3 scores each visitor silently in the background from their interactions with your site. You can run it everywhere without affecting your conversion rate, and it works best when it has the most context about how people use your site. hCaptcha — an independent alternative to Google’s service. hCaptcha blocks automated bots, spam, and abuse by asking visitors to complete a simple verification challenge, and it is the popular choice for site owners who would rather not route their traffic through Google. Pro includes everything in the free version, so you can switch between all six captcha styles at any time. External services This plugin can optionally use Google reCAPTCHA, a third party service, and only when you explicitly select “Google reCAPTCHA” as your captcha type and enter your own API keys. When that option is active, the visitor’s browser loads Google’s reCAPTCHA script from https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js, and your server sends the captcha response token together with the visitor’s IP address to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/siteverify in order to confirm the challenge was solved. No data is transmitted to Google when the Slide or Icon captcha is selected, and the plugin never sends data anywhere else. Google’s terms and privacy policy apply to that service: Terms of Service — Privacy Policy. Support If you have a problem, a question, or a feature request, please open a thread in the support forum. We answer every one. If Captchinoo helps keep your site safe, a review would mean a lot to us.

Localizations Brazilian Portuguese (thanks to Vinícius Ferraz) Spanish (thanks to Ivan Yivoff) Italian (thanks to Salaros) German Latest Files on GitHub: https://github.com/tareq1988/wp-recaptcha-integration Compatibility On a WP Multisite you can either activate the plugin network wide or on a single site. Activated on a single site everything works as usual. With network activation entering the API key and setting up where a captcha is required is up to the network admin. A blog admin can override the API key e.g. when his blog is running under his/her own domain name. Known Limitations You can’t have more than one old style reCaptcha on a page. This is a limitiation of reCaptcha itself. If that’s an issue for you, you should use the no Captcha Form. A No Captcha definitely requires client side JavaScript enabled. That’s how it does its sophisticated bot detection magic. There is no fallback. If your visitor does not have JS enabled the captcha test will not let him through. On a Contact Form 7 when the reCaptcha is disabled (e.g. for logged in users) the field label will be still visible. This is due to CF7 Shortcode architecture, and can’t be fixed. To handle this there is a filter recaptcha_disabled_html. You can return a message for your logged-in users here. Check out the GitHub Repo for details. As of version 4.3 CF7 comes with its own recaptcha. Both are supposed to work together. I you want to keep the WP ReCaptcha functionality, e.g. if you want to hide the captcha from known users, leave the integration in the CF7 settings unconfigured. Old style reCaptcha does not work together with WooCommerce. In WooCommerce the reset password form can not be protected by a captcha. Woocommerce does not fire any action in the lost password form, so there is no way for the plugin to hook in. Take a look at this thread for a workaround. Due to a lack of filters there is no (and as far as one can see, there will never be) support for the MailPoet subscription form. Plugin API The plugin offers some filters to allow themes and other plugins to hook in. See GitHub-Repo for details.
