Implementing Captcha

This captcha system is put in place to force new users at the kiosk to have to use a captcha before sending a account creation request. This is a resolution to some events being spammed with account creation requests and thereby getting their email sender reputation damaged.

This is available as of version 12.0.0 and requires no "configuration" other than to add your keys to CM.

How to Add your keys to CM

  • Log into Convention master
  • Click on the "Admin event" >> "System Settings" menu.
  • Locate the setting called "Captcha Keys", set the pulldown to "hcaptcha" and then copy and paste your site key and Site Secret.

That is all that needs to happen, this will enable captcha at all the kiosks and other places needed.
