Captcha on registration

Require captcha on /register — first line of defense against bot signups.

Settingregister_captcha_enabled

Captcha on registration

Requires captcha on the sign-up form (/register) whenever this toggle is on (always challenged — not tied to login attempt counts).

Where to find it

Admin → Settings → Settings (first tab) → Captcha & abuse → Captcha on forms → Register

Setting key: register_captcha_enabled

How it works

Pair with Disallowed mail hosts and Require email verification before you open registration publicly.

Common problems

Humans fail registration

Broken keys or domain not allowed in the provider console. Test in a private window on the live hostname.
