You can generate reCAPTCHA API keys by visiting [Google reCAPTCHA](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create). ### Do I need to use a shortcode for reCAPTCHA v3? No, reCAPTCHA v3 runs automatically once configured. ### What happens if I don’t configure API keys? Without valid API keys, reCAPTCHA won’t function, and your forms may not be protected from spam. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/379e39a215632819a96062ec37af25f6076e6dc79de02cf0f882e86c75482f3c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Perfect and easy to use!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/perfect-and-easy-to-use-28/)󠁿 [lukadjura](https://profiles.wordpress.org/lukadjura/) སྤྱི་ཟླ་བཅུ་པ། 2, 2025 Just what I needed! 5/5 ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/70eb2895d65d98cbcacbe02991b23a3b19504a2f7769f9a44634df149b72848e? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Great!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-16746/)󠁿 [Rade](https://profiles.wordpress.org/rade1/) སྤྱི་ཟླ་བཞི་པ། 7, 2025 I was looking for something like this, works like a charm.
