A Thorough Walkthrough for Adding Google reCAPTCHA to Magento 2

Google reCAPTCHA helps protect your Magento 2 store from spam and automated abuse by verifying whether users are human. Magento 2 supports two types of Google reCAPTCHA:

  1. reCAPTCHA v2: Includes both the "I'm not a robot" Checkbox and the Invisible reCAPTCHA.
    • "I'm not a robot" Checkbox: Requires users to check a box to confirm they are human.
    • Invisible reCAPTCHA: Operates in the background and verifies users without explicit interaction.
  2. reCAPTCHA v3: Provides a score based on user interactions and behavior to assess if the user is a bot, without any visible challenge.

Prerequisites

  1. Magento 2 Installation: Ensure Magento 2 is installed and configured.
  2. Google reCAPTCHA API Keys: Obtain API keys from the Google reCAPTCHA admin console.
