I’m the EU it’s increasingly harder to sell to people that we use Google rechaptcha in our forms due to tracking and data collection. Are there plans to support hCaptcha? Which is more privacy friendly. hCaptcha - Stop more bots. Start protecting privacy. hCaptcha is an anti-bot soluti…

@AquaL1te , The Grav team will know better then the community… You will probably have a better chance on a final answer at the repo of Grav .

There’s a PR open since April, so maybe some day Add hCaptcha support getgrav:develop ← aleclerc7:hCaptchat opened 11:03PM - 01 Apr 22 UTC (UTC) [aleclerc7] aleclerc7 …

There is always a way how to use forms without captcha 99% spam free. The solution I’m using: create a unique ID for the input which is half of the information use a custom field to submit the second half of the ID use a custom plugin to join those two fields works for me seamlessly for few years…

Could you elaborate? Do you have 2 hidden inputs each submitting halves of ID? I don’t see how this would prevent bots, so I assume I misunderstood what ID is used as submission and what ID is used as input id attribute :thinking: If it’s used as an attribute, then how do you check it after submit? …

This is the form example: title: 'Contact Form' form: name: contact action: /form/contact template: form-messages refresh_prevention: true classes: denuo fields: name: type: honeypot UthcCKLVLEkr: type: text label: Name …

Could you please use code blocks for that? I believe I have this already in place, but it’s better readable with the backticks in markdown. I find the documentation about the honeypot a bit short. These extra things you’re doing with it are not described there. Where did you get this information to…

@ondrejv this is great info. Could you please also provide a link to the azrlogicapp plugin because I can’t find it?

Let’s hope it will be merged soon :tada:
