What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA is Google's ubiquitous solution for reducing spam in forms.
reCAPTCHA v2 requires users to click the “I'm not a robot” checkbox. The module also sometimes serves the user an image recognition challenge.
You can learn more about Google's reCAPTCHA on the reCAPTCHA website.
