hCatpcha integration

Hi @georgdem

Unfortunately, this feature isn’t currently built into Formidable Forms. We do not have any immediate plans to add Captcha, but I’ve made a note of your request so we can track and evaluate if this is an option that would benefit a high number of users.

Thanks for bringing this up, and sorry for the limitation!

Best,
Nathanael.

Ok thanks,

a native captcha integration with e.g. hcaptcha as an alternative to Googles reCaptcha will become an important feature soon. As of January 2022 the Austrian Data Privacy Policy has issued a decision about the usage of Google Analytics in websites. (You can find it here in the second section unfortunately only in German: https://www.dsb.gv.at/download-links/bekanntmachungen.html). According to this decision Google Analytics is not legally compliant with GDPR. This decision is not legally binding yet but this will be just a matter of time. With the jurisdiction the decision becomes binding and practically all Google products so also reCaptcha become illegal.

So I think this will affect a lot of users no only in Austria but the EU.

Best,
Georg

Second the request for specifically hCaptcha support as we are phasing out all the intrusive Google spyware like /AMP format pages, and Google’s captcha. We have started using hcaptcha as number of places and working very well ??

@neotrope

I’ll make sure a vote is added to the hCaptcha feature request for you.

Best,

Thanks @njones35 ??

+1, would be epic to have google alternative. but also have to say, great that you guys keep the v2.

@datenchef you’ll be glad to hear that our dev team is currently working on hCaptcha integration and this should appear in the plugin soon. ??

I came here to upvote this – but delighted to see it;’s being worked on – I’ve been doing all my new projects with hCaptcha and moving older sites over one by one – thanks @njones35 !

Hi @stephroseg

You’ll be glad to learn that our latest release now includes hCpatcha support. ??
