If you use Google reCAPTCHA anywhere on your website — contact forms, logins, checkout — there’s an important change you need to know about. Google is requiring all reCAPTCHA keys to be migrated to a Google Cloud project.
What’s changing
Legacy reCAPTCHA keys created in the classic admin console are being phased out. Going forward, keys live inside a Google Cloud project, which unlocks better analytics, billing controls and the newer reCAPTCHA Enterprise features.
What you need to do
- Audit where reCAPTCHA is used. Forms, login pages and checkout flows are the usual suspects.
- Create or choose a Google Cloud project to host your keys.
- Migrate your existing keys using Google’s migration tool.
- Update the keys in your site’s settings or plugin configuration.
- Test every form to confirm submissions still go through.
