FAQ

Questions, answered

Still wondering about Google reCAPTCHA? The documentation covers every setting, and we are happy to help.

Read the documentation

Is reCAPTCHA free?

Yes. It’s part of the free plugin, set up under Hash Form > Settings > Captcha. With Hash Form Pro active, it’s set up in the Recaptcha module instead.

What does v3 do with the score?

It compares the score Google returns with your reCAPTCHA Threshold and refuses the submission if the score is lower.

What if I haven’t added keys yet?

The field isn’t shown on the form and doesn’t block submissions, and the builder notes that it isn’t set up yet.
