# Setup reCAPTCHA in forms

### Step 1 <a href="#step-1" id="step-1"></a>

First, we need an API key, so head on over to [**https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin**](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin). To gain access to this page you’ll need to be logged into a Google account.

You’ll be asked to register your website, so give it a suitable name, then list domains (for example example.com) where this particular reCAPTCHA will be used. Subdomains (such as landing.example.com and code.example.com) are automatically taken into account.<br>

### Step 2 <a href="#step-2" id="step-2"></a>

With that done you’ll be given a site key and its partner secret key:<br>

Open the settings of your project from the dashboard in your account at [**builder.pixfort.com**](https://builder.pixfort.com/) and switch to the **Forms** tab, then select reCaptcha box and copy the reCaptcha secret key and paste it in the corresponding field at the bottom of the page and click the save button:<br>

### Step 3 <a href="#step-3" id="step-3"></a>

Open the builder and open the settings of the form (click the "**Form Settings**" icon from the blue bar above the form), then drag and drop the reCAPTCHA element from the right sidebar.\
After that, click on the "**Settings**" button on the right of the reCAPTCHA elements inside the form and fill in your "Site key" that you obtained in **Step 2**.

After that, save the project and the reCAPTCHA will be ready to use.

**Note:** the reCaptcha widget will only show up after exporting the project (the reCAPTCHA element inside the builder is a placeholder image).
{% endhint %}
