→How to enable/disable CAPTCHA
CAPTCHA stands for “Completely Automated Public Turing Test to tell Computers and Humans Apart”. CAPTCHA is used to minimize the occurrence of spam records being submitted via bots. Toggling this setting on may reduce the amount of spam you receive, but it will not block all spam from bots. Note: there is some debate over the usability and accessibility of CAPTCHA and reCAPTCHA, especially among people with disabilities.
CAPTCHA is on by default , but you may want to be judicious in its adoption.
You can toggle the CAPTCHA on or off for your entire system by going to '''Menu''' icon > '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab > '''Global CAPTCHA Settings''' and choose either '''Enabled''' or '''Disabled'''. If you choose inherit '''Inherit''', you can specify which signup pages will have a CAPTCHA via their configuration pages.
===CAPTCHA Alternatives===
You can also use an alternative to Google's reCAPTCHA for users in countries that are unable to communicate with Google servers because of servers due to government policy. To set this up, go to '''Global Settings''' > '''Security''' tab and scroll down to see the '''System Security''' section to see options for alternative CAPTCHA services. Type in the name of relevant counties.
