Protect yourself from ‘bots self-registering by adding a reCaptcha element to the registration page.

  1. Get the reCaptcha keys you will need below from the XWS Dev site. (You probably have to log in to the XWS Dev site to see this.)
  2. Log in as an administrator on the site you’re trying to protect.
  3. On the home page, go to Users > Authentication > Manage authentication.
    1. Make sure Email-based self-registration is enabled.
    2. Scroll to the bottom of that page and enter the two reCaptcha keys.
    3. Save changes.
  4. Click the Settings link on that line.
  5. On the Email-based self-registration page:
    1. Enable reCaptcha element. Set to Yes.
    2. Save changes.
