Enable reCaptcha for web sign up
If you would like to protect your users registration from bot attacks you can create a free reCaptcha account and enter the keys and threshold in the configuration section of the console.
You can start with a free account which can handle checks on 500 account creations per second or 500.000 checks per month. If your service reaches the limit all accounts will automatically get a 0.9 score.
reCaptcha can incur costs over specific volumes of checks. Refer to the 3rd Party pricing for information.
Reccomendations:
Add a Credit Card 💳 to your Google Cloud billing
Why?: To Avoid Service Disruptions: If you reach the free tier limit and don’t have a payment method on file, reCAPTCHA may stop working on your website and might incur SignUp problems.
Will You Be Charged Automatically?
If you don’t exceed the free tier limits, you won’t be charged, even if you have a credit card on file.
If you exceed the limits, Google will charge your credit card based on usage. Pricing varies, but typically, price information here
