# reCAPTCHA V3

In Umbraco Forms, reCAPTCHA V3 comes out of the box.

reCAPTCHA v3 allows you to verify if an interaction is legitimate without any user interaction.

## Enabling reCAPTCHA V3

Follow these steps to enable reCAPTCHA V3 in Umbraco Forms:

1. Go to the **Forms** section in the backoffice.
2. Find the form that should have **ReCAPTCHA v3** enabled.
3. Add a new question and select **ReCAPTCHA v3 with Score** as its answer type.
4. Make sure the field is set as **Mandatory**.
5. Configure ReCAPTCHA settings in the `appSettings.json` file to include public and private keys:

```json
"Umbraco"{
    "Forms": {
      "FieldTypes": {
        "Recaptcha3": {
            "SiteKey": "",
            "PrivateKey": ""
          }
        }
      }
   }
```

You can create your keys by logging into your [reCAPTCHA account](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/).

## Additional Configuration Options

Refer to [Configuration](/umbraco-forms/developer/configuration.md#recaptcha-v3-field-type-configuration) to see additional options that can be set in the `appSettings.json` for reCAPTCHA v3.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-forms/editor/creating-a-form/fieldtypes/recaptcha3.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
