It is very important to keep your LMS secure, especially when it comes to user registrations and form submissions. Bots and spam activity can lead to fake accounts and cause a potential security risk. The Pro Version of the FoxLMS offers Google reCAPTCHA integration to help protect your platform from such threats. By verifying that actions are performed by real users, reCAPTCHA adds an extra layer of security without disrupting the learning experience.
This documentation will guide you through enabling and configuring Google reCAPTCHA in your LMS.
