Known Recaptcha3 Bot blocking support
=====================================

[](#known-recaptcha3-bot-blocking-support)

This plugin adds Recaptcha3 bot blocking support to certain public pages - register, logged out comments, and login.

It works by extending the `forms/input/captcha` template, and is extensible to add your own protected views and bot thresholds (by default everything has a threshold of 0.5)

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Download the latest version of Known. I recommend that you either use the [GitHub](https://github.com/idno/known) version or the [Unofficial packages](https://www.marcus-povey.co.uk/known) available from my website.
- Create an **Recaptcha3** directory in your `IdnoPlugins` directory, and copy these files into it.
- Activate it from the Admin panel.

or

- `composer require mapkyca/known-recaptcha3`

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

Once you've installed and activated the plugin, go [here](https://g.co/recaptcha/v3) to get your recaptcha3 tokens, and configure these in your admin page.

You can set custom threshold values in your `config.ini`, but at time of writing there's no UI for these.
