Google reCaptcha Validation

What is Google reCaptcha?

Google reCaptcha is a CAPTCHA-like system designed to protect website forms from a user (normally in order to protect login, registration and other forms from bots).

Why you would use Google reCaptcha

• Google reCaptcha is an effective security solution that protects your website forms from spam entries while letting real people pass through with ease. It can be used for login, registration, password recovery, comments, popular contact forms, and others.
• Users are required to confirm that they are not a robot before the form can be submitted. It's easy for people and hard for bots.
