Part 1: For Client Setup: reCAPTCHA Configuration
Step 1: Log In to Your Google Account
First, open your browser (like Chrome) and log in to the Google account you want to use for reCAPTCHA.
Step 2: Go to the reCAPTCHA Admin Console
Once you're logged in, go directly to the reCAPTCHA admin page to register a new site:
https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create
Step 3: Register Your Site
You'll be taken to the "Register a new site" page. Here's what you need to fill out:
- Label: Give your site a recognisable name, like "My Blog's Contact Page" or "E-commerce Checkout."
- reCAPTCHA type: Select reCAPTCHA v2, then choose the "I'm not a robot" Checkbox.
- Domains: Enter the domain name of your website (e.g., www.example.com). If you have multiple domains, you can add them all.
- Owners: Your Google account will be listed here. You can add more owners if needed.
- Accept the reCAPTCHA Terms of Service.
Step 4: Submit and Retrieve Your Keys
Click Submit. The next page will show you your Site Key and Secret Key. You'll need both of these to add reCAPTCHA to your website, so make sure to copy and save them in a secure place.
Part 2: Applying the Keys in the Rex Websites Admin
After retrieving the keys, you now need to enter them into your website's administrative area (referred to here as "rex websites admin"):
Step 5: Navigate to Form Settings
Log into your Rex Websites Admin panel.
Go to Marketing > Form Settings in the dashboard.

Locate the reCAPTCHA section.
- Enter the Site Key and Secret Key provided by Google.

Save the changes to apply the configuration across your selected forms.
