Google reCAPTCHA It is a security service that prevents fraud and abuse on your website.
 
Starting with Magento 2.3.x, Google reCaptcha is included by default in the Magento Core, meaning that it only needs to be configured in order to be ready for use. To enable and configure it, follow the steps below:
 
In order to enable the reCAPTCHA from Google, you need a pair of API keys.
 
Important: Please note, for reCAPTCHA to be enabled, the valid "Google API Website Key" and "Google API Secret Key" fields are required.
 
Before you start the setup and generate the API keys you need to know what type of reCAPTCHA you want to use, there are 3 options available:
  • reCAPTCHA v2 ("I am not a robot")
  • reCAPTCHA v2 Invisible
  • reCAPTCHA v3 Invisible
To set it up, first, you have to go to Google reCAPTCHA and generate the reCAPTCHA keys.
 
After you generate the API keys for the reCAPTCHA type that you choose for your site, follow these steps to set it up in Magento:
 
Set reCAPTCHA for Magento Admin Store
 
To set it up, go to Admin -> Stores -> Settings -> Configuration -> Scope: set it to Default Config.
-> Security -> Google reCAPTCHA Admin Panel:
