Can we use Google reCAPTCHA v3 with Sendy?

I love the integration with reCAPTCHA v2, but I was wondering if we might see v3 support in the future.

Or how I might integrate v3 into my subscription forms. (I simply take the html form and add it manually to my website.)

v3 doesn't use a challenge or checkbox. It works invisibly in the background to distinguish bots from humans, which means the reCAPTCHA box won't even appear for most people.

Thanks!

Hi,

When implementing Google reCAPTCHA a decision was made to go with v2 instead of v3 because v3 can be inaccurate and likely to block out legitimate subscribers. V3 uses risk scores to judge whether it's a person or bot, false positives are very likely. For instance if you are not logged in to a Google account, your risk score is high. If you're using VPN, your risk score is high. Everything put together, Google considers you a robot, but you're actually human. There are many more factors Google considers before they decide whether you're human or not.

V2 on the other hand is 100% accurate. If you hit the checkbox, you're through. If you don't, you're a robot. No guesswork involved and no false positives.

Thanks.

Best regards,
Ben
