Security - Google reCaptcha v3 Integration – Configuration

Updated over 2 months ago

First register with Google reCAPTCHA v3 and link your domain. It is advisable that a specific Google account be created and owned by a relevant person in the business.

Go to: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create, enter your details, select reCAPTCHAv3 as the reCAPTCHA type, and submit.

Google – Registering a New Site

Once you have registered, you will be provided with two reCAPTCHA keys, a ‘SITE KEY’ and a ‘SECRET KEY’.

Google – Keys

Next, use the site and secret keys to set the corresponding SY parameters.

  • RECAPKEY is the site key.

  • RECAPSEC is the site secret key.

Copy and paste the relevant keys and save.

NOTE: This enables the reCAPTCHA functionality on COINS login. To disable, simply blank either of the two keys.

  • RECAPMRK is your watermark; this determines when to throw an error. The higher the watermark, the stricter validation. For example, if Google returns a score of 0.7 and your watermark is 0.7 or greater, a BOT WARNING will be thrown. Enter a decimal value between 0.0 and 1.0 to select your threshold. Note: If blank then 0.5 will be used as default as advised by Google.
