You can use the commands in this section to enable code protection and specify the type of Captcha you intend using to block spam e-mail:

▪Enable HTML Code Protection: this enables protection for published website pages, disabling right button mouse clicks. The visitor will not be able to view the pages' source code online using the commands in the context menu that opens when the righthand mouse button is clicked on the pages.
▪Rules for the password choice: you can choose which rules have to be complied with when creating a password. This option affects every section where the User can choose a password. The available rules are:
•Min number of characters: it is possible to set a minimum number of characters the password has to include for it to be valid, otherwise it won’t be accepted;
•Mandatory characters: it is possible to define that the password has to include at least a capital letter (A-Z) and/or at least a number (0-9) and/or at least a special character (!%@#).
▪Captcha type: this indicates the Captcha method that will be used in all the website's e-mail forms (created with the Contact Form Object or in the E-commerce cart) to block the reception of spam e-mails. You can choose between:

WebSite X5 Captcha: this is the default system. It displays an image with distorted letters on a confusing background that Visitors must correctly retype.

Google ReCaptcha v2 (Deprecated): users simply click to confirm that they are not a robot. Only if suspicious activity is detected may they be asked to complete an additional challenge, such as typing distorted text or matching images. Google considers this version deprecated: it can still be used on existing websites but is not recommended for new projects.

Google ReCaptcha v3 (Being phased out): automatically evaluates user behaviour and assigns a trust score, which the website uses to distinguish legitimate users from bots. Google is progressively shifting development toward reCAPTCHA Enterprise, so this is the recommended solution for new websites.

Google reCaptcha Enterprise: this is Google's officially recommended solution. It analyses user behaviour during navigation (mouse movements, interactions, form completion times, and more) and, in most cases, requires no additional action from the user. Only suspicious activity may trigger further verification. It requires a Google Cloud account and includes a free tier of up to 10,000 assessments per month.

 

For new projects, Google reCAPTCHA Enterprise is generally the recommended choice, while reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 are mainly useful for maintaining compatibility with existing configurations.

To use Google reCAPTCHA v2, v3 or Enterprise, you must first register your website and obtain the keys required by WebSite X5.
