Generate reCAPTCHA Keys for Advanced Form Security and Spam Protection

To use reCAPTCHA for advanced form security and spam protection, you need to set up your own reCAPTCHA keys. These keys will connect your website to Google’s spam-protection system. 


First, go to the Google reCAPTCHA Admin Console.

Add a new site Label to help you remember the site in the future. This doesn’t affect how reCAPTCHA works.

Choose reCAPTCHA type by selecting the Challenge (v2) option. This verifies requests with a challenge.

Now, pick the Invisible reCAPTCHA badge so the badge is hidden unless verification is needed. Users usually won’t see anything unless Google checks them.

In the Domain field, enter the exact domain where your form builder lives (for example: ezycourse.com). Google will only allow the keys to work on the domains you add here.

Agree to the Google Cloud Terms of Service (if not used before) and click the Submit button to generate the keys.

After submission, Google shows two keys: Site Key and Secret Key. Copy both keys somewhere safe.
