Captcha on user registration page #1009

Open CyrilWendl opened 7 years ago

CyrilWendl commented 7 years ago

Would be nice to implement a Captcha, like a Google Recaptcha, on the user registration page to reduce spammer profiles. On Wordpress, there is a free plugin that lets you do this in a minute. It reduced spam on my websites to practically zero. Maybe there is a similar module for Drupal.

Links to the modules are here: https://www.drupal.org/project/captcha and https://www.drupal.org/project/recaptcha. They are not installed on the website yet. Perhaps somebody could help me set up a test environment on XAMPP or similar so I could help develop this.

These are easy to install and configure. The real issue is how to decide if this is necessary? Does the site get a lot of bogus registrations?
