To generate your Google reCAPTCHA Site Key / Secret Key for the reCaptcha add-on please follow this tutorial.

reCaptcha V3

The reCAPTCHA v3 is also a type of invisible CAPTCHA designed to be more user-friendly by eliminating the need for user interaction. Unlike reCAPTCHA v2, which requires visible challenges like the “I’m not a robot” checkbox or image selection, reCAPTCHA v3 works entirely in the background. It analyzes user behavior patterns to determine whether a request is likely from a human or a bot. This approach enhances security against bots and spam without disrupting the user experience, providing seamless protection for your site.
