Recaptcha is a free captcha service offered by Google in order to secure websites and
forms. At https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create you can create new recaptcha
keys and see the keys that your have already created.
* Keep in mind that recaptcha doesn't work with localhost
When you create a recaptcha key, your will get two separate keys: ClientKey & SecretKey.
ClientKey should be kept in your site's front end
SecretKey should be kept in your site's back end
# An example HTML login form with recaptcha tag is shown below
<form action="" method="post">
<h2 class="text-center">Log in</h2>
{% csrf_token %}
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" name="username" required="required">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<input type="password" name="password" required="required">
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<button type="submit">Log in</button>
</div>
<!-- Below is the recaptcha tag of html -->
<div class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="ClientKey"></div>
</form>
<!-- Below is the recaptcha script to be kept inside html tag -->
<script src="https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js" async defer></script>
