We utilize Google reCAPTCHA to block spam and improve your user experience. This document will guide you through setting up a Google account and creating the reCAPTCHA keys that you can plug into your site.

This key is utilized in many ways throughout your site, which can include:

  • If you have ecommerce on your website; this key is used for when users create accounts (example, guest account or full account creation) and for the Forgot Password function on their accounts.

  • For logging into your own personal accounts in the backend of your new site using our WebWiz@rd Control Panel (WWCPanel). As well as the Forgot Password function on your direct accounts for WWCPanel

  • If you have newsletters on your website, reCAPTCHA is used for individuals signing up for newsletters

  • For user submitted forms using the Form Builder module

  2. If this is your first time visiting the Google Cloud Dashboard interface, the next screen you will be presented with is a popup that asks you to agree to the terms and conditions. Check I AGREE TO... and click on AGREE AND CONTINUE.





  3. If you have not yet created a project you will be presented with a button to create one. A project is needed to get started with using Google reCAPTCHA. Select CREATE PROJECT

  6. Then, select the CREATE button.

    Once the API is enabled, it will again redirect you back to the reCAPTCHA dashboard.


  2. Click on the blue SET UP reCAPTCHA PROTECTION button.




    This next screen is where you will actually create your reCAPTCHA keys for use on your website.

  3. In the “Display Name” field, enter your company name or website name. This field is an easy way to identify your key if you have multiple. If in doubt, just enter your website URL here.

    (e.g. mywebsite.com)




  4. “Application Type” should be set to WEB




  5. Click on the blue ADD A DOMAIN option




  6. First, enter remwebsolutions.ca


  7. Click on the ADD A DOMAIN option again. This time, enter YOUR website domain name (e.g. mywebsite.com)


  8. You should have 2 DOMAINS added. One for remwebsolutions.ca and the other is for YOUR website.



  9. Before continuing, we need you to take a screenshot of this filled out creation screen. This image is to be included in your email response.



  10. After you have taken your screenshot, click on the blue CREATE KEY button at the bottom.

    You will now be brought to the key details interface where you will copy TWO keys to provide to support.



  11. Click on the copy icon beside the ID at the top. This is your SITE KEY. Paste that exact key into your email to our support team and clearly indicate that it is the site key.




  12. Now click on the INTEGRATE WITH A THIRD-PARTY SERVICE OR PLUGIN option.




  13. This will show a popup window that contains your SECRET KEY. Please copy and paste this key into your email. Make sure to clearly indicate that this is the secret key.




    Make sure you copy/paste reCAPTCHA keys. Due to the font used by Google, a screenshot is not enough to extract the keys as some characters look very similar.


  14. Finally, email our support team with your SITE KEY and SECRET KEY along with the screenshot of your completed create key screen that shows you have added theTWO required domains: remwebsolutions.ca and your own website.


    You can provide the screenshot as an attachment OR as an image in the email itself, as long as the image is large enough for us to clearly read and confirm that both domains have been accurately entered.
