reCAPTCHA

What’s reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA protects your website from fraud and abuse without creating friction.

reCAPTCHA uses an advanced risk analysis engine and adaptive challenges to keep malicious software from engaging in abusive activities on your website. Meanwhile, legitimate users will be able to log in, make purchases, view pages, or create accounts and fake users will be blocked.

It is a contrived acronym for “Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”
