3rd-Party Features
3rd-Party Features are the tenth group on the Settings Page.
This article provides more information about each setting in the 3rd-Party Features group. This tab of the settings allows you to control alternative captcha systems hosted by other companies.
Use Google reCAPTCHA for Registration:
When enabled, the registration process will include a reCAPTCHA challenge that the user must pass before registration is allowed. This helps prevent most automated registrations.
Before this setting can be turned on, you must first complete the Site Key and Secret Key values provided by Google. Continue reading for instructions.
reCAPTCHA Site Key:
This part of the reCAPTCHA configuration is provided by Google. You must first register your site with Google, and then copy and paste the correct code into this textbox.
A direct link to the current Google setup page is provided just below the title of this setting. Click on that to get started.
reCAPTCHA Secret Key or Legacy Key
This part of the reCAPTCHA configuration is provided by Google. You must copy and paste the correct code into this textbox, similar to the previous setting.
Follow these steps to find the Secret/Legacy Key for your site:
- Visit the Google Cloud Fraud Defense dashboard.
- Scroll to the list of reCAPTCHA keys and click on "Key details".
From Key details page, there are two different ways to find the keys:
Click the Integration tab under the key title. Then, click the link that says "Use legacy key".
OR
Click the "Edit key" link next to the key title. Then, click "Reveal".
reCAPTCHA Key Type
When you create a Key in the Google Cloud dashboard, enabling a Checkbox or "use challenges" for that key causes the API to change. You must specify in the XMB Settings whether or not checkbox challenges are in use. Selecting the wrong Key Type will cause an error message to display in the XMB member registration pages.
