  1. Go to reCAPTCHA, create an account and get your public and private keys. Follow the instructions on the page.
  2. In the Administration - Settings - Advancedcreate new settings:
    • WebApp.CAPTCHAPublicKey - into the value field enter your generated public key (Site key).
    • WebApp.CAPTCHAPrivateKey - as the value enter your private key (Secret key).
  3. In case of a large number of unsuccessful logins to the WebApp, the login will be checked to make sure they are human and not automated robots.

To disable reCAPTCHA, delete the settings above.
