With the release of Joomla 5, the reCAPTCHA plugins were removed from Joomla core, for a number of good reasons. The downside was that the Joomla core was left without a captcha integrated by default, meaning that forms could only be protected against spam using third-party plugins. The good news is: that is going to change again. We’re introducing a better, native and user-friendly solution, built in Joomla’s core and not depending on third-party services.
