Recaptcha install and workflow

[wishfullthinkn]

I went here

https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create

filled in the blanks and hit create

now I have an email saying my setup isn't complete and sent me here

https://console.cloud.google.com/security/recaptcha/6LeUgakqAAAAAG1ZGckvSMvRdNWZIqc9Yohr-AEK/integra...

I have no idea what this page says. It may use English words which is my native language but I am not a coder and I thought recaptcha was a simple one click install for Wordpress.  why am I being sent to some technical dashboard asking me APIs, JSONs and Http refferrers??  

I am not going to coding school just I can put a spam deterrent on a simple WP form. Like who thought this was option A?? 

is there a simple way to use recaptcha or should I just look for something that had more thought put into its implementation?  Seriously I can't make this post without a label and any label I pick it says its no good for recaptcha??? WTF!! Who designs this stuff without testing it from a user POV!!!!

Hi @wishfullthinkn, I recommend looking into the many third-party Wordpress plugins for reCAPTCHA if you're just protecting a simple WP form.

Hi @wishfullthinkn,

Welcome to the Google Cloud community!

The link you received from Google is leading you to reCAPTCHA Enterprise settings. This is an advanced version of reCAPTCHA. For the basics, go to the reCAPTCHA admin page, put a label and select reCAPTCHA v2 ("I'm not a robot" checkbox), put your domain e.g. example.com, click submit. Once created, Google will give you a Site Key and Secret Key. You’ll use these in the WordPress plugin. In your WordPress dashboard, install a plugin like Contact Form 7, WPForms, or Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) and, go to the settings and paste your Site Key and Secret Key from Google.
