Waterhole reCAPTCHA
===================

[](#waterhole-recaptcha)

**reCAPTCHA checks for Waterhole registration.**

When enabled, registration requires a valid reCAPTCHA v3 response. If verification fails, the registration is rejected with a validation error.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require waterhole/recaptcha

```

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

[](#configuration)

Publish the config:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=waterhole-recaptcha-config

```

Then set your keys in `.env`:

```
RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY=...
RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY=...

```

This extension runs automatically on registration once installed.

Scoring
-------

[](#scoring)

By default, a score threshold of `0.5` is enforced. To change or disable it, edit `extensions/recaptcha/config/recaptcha.php` and set `score_threshold` to your preferred value.
