Getting started with reCAPTCHA Enterprise: Your quickstart guide to defending your website

[Nick_Troutini]

reCAPTCHA has over a decade of experience defending the internet and data for its network of more than 5 million sites. reCAPTCHA Enterprise builds on this technology with capabilities, such as two-factor authentication and mobile application support, designed specifically for enterprise security concerns. With reCAPTCHA Enterprise, you can defend your website against common web-based attacks like credential stuffing, account takeovers, and scraping and help prevent costly exploits from malicious human and automated actors. And, just like reCAPTCHA v3, reCAPTCHA Enterprise will never interrupt your users with a challenge, so you can run it on all webpages where your customers interact with your services.

for score based sitekey, is it required to show the recaptcha badge anywhere on the web page? 

[gaurav5430]

in the FAQ, it is suggested to not use the checkbox challenge in response of a recaptcha score.

One of the things we want is to show a manual captcha based on some context from within our application or our WAF . For example, only show manual captcha to VPN users . So we ideally want to show a real captcha to solve in such scenarios, instead of another factor for authentication. Is there a setup available in recaptcha for such use cases?
