Question about captcha on registration page

    Hello,

    I think it’s great that the plugin adopts Captcha V3. It would be ideal to implement that security measure without bothering real users

    I’m testing it in a project, I enter the credentials and the Google Captcha logo appears on the registration page, but I have doubts if I’m really filtering spam. I’ve tried to be auto-blocked by using Tor Browser by spamming myself (Tor Browser allows browse anonymously, but it’s so suspicious that sometimes even cloudflare puts blocks on this type of browser)

    I haven’t managed to be auto-blocked by compulsively creating several accounts

    In the Google settings I’ve been redirected to console.cloud where it’s mentioned that the Backend configuration is missing

    In the particular project I’m reviewing, security is so important (it’s incredible the amount of attacks I receive weekly) I’ve selected V2 where I know it works and attackers will have a significant brake. Everything works fine in V2, the only detail is that the captcha test interface appears in English (the project is in Spanish)

    Maybe I’m missing something to configure in V3? How could I test that it’s working?

    Since I get a lot of attacks anyway in my particular case I should consider staying on version V2. Is there a possibility that it can be configured so that the captcha interface is in Spanish?

    Thanks !

    Regards

    I was able to change the language of captcha V2! I was looking through the plugin code and had a filter already created, to leave it in Spanish I used the following code:

    add_filter( 'youzify_captcha_language', function() {
    return 'es';
    });

    You also had an article about this that I hadn’t seen before. It’s great to have this in the project language

    Just if you could tell me about V3 maybe a way to test it. Although in this particular project it seems that there are many advantages to staying in V2, especially now that it is in Spanish

    Yes, I have entered the V3 credentials without any problems, the captcha logo appears. I’m just not 100% sure that it works

    I was hoping that by logging in with Tor Browser and trying to auto-spam something would appear that would stop me. In my particular case I’m going to stick with V2 to be sure that I’m stopping or slowing down the potential attacker

    I’m not sure if V3 was working in my case, maybe it was working fine and it wasn’t stopping me because in a sense, it was human spam. But since it’s possible to change the captcha language right now I’d rather stick with V2

    Another thing I noticed is that by following the following tutorial:

    Change reCaptcha Language on Register Form / KaineLabs (ticksy.com)

    It loaded the captcha script everywhere, it’s a bit strange since one tends to think that bp-custom.php should be limited to buddypress. But with the anonymous function that returns ‘es’ it’s possible to change language without loading that JS everywhere

    But in any case thanks
