Native Recaptcha was added into Joomla in version 2.5.
Using Recaptcha is a great way of preventing bots from making fake accounts and
content on your site.

v

Ø
Go to your User Manager. You can find this under
Users along the top menu or in the buttons on the main page of your
Administrator panel.

Choose one of the following
·
"Use Default" in your "Default
Captcha" field. (This is the default setting and follows the "Default
Captcha" field setting in Global Configuration)

"None Selected" in your "Default
Captcha" field. (This setting ignors the "Default Captcha" field
setting in Global Configuration. Used when you want Recaptcha in Contact forms
but not in the Registration form.)

"Captcha - Recaptcha" in your
"Default Captcha" field. (Only needed if "Default Captcha"
field setting in Global Configuration is set to "-None Selected-" and

of your Administrator panel.

Copy and paste the Public and Private keys in
their appropriate fields on the right.
