Piotnet Forms support

Hi,
The question for a Piotnet Forms support has already been asked twice here:
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/piotnet-forms/
https://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/piotnet-forms-2/I’m also interested, in replacement for reCaptcha v3, and despite a honeypot field already exists in PF, because:
1. It seems to me that WP Armour JS honeypot could be more efficient
2. PF honeypot field type is mentioned several times in the page markup, e.g. type=”honeypot” on the input, cannot this info be exploited by bots?
If it’s added, i guess it could be in WP Armour paid version.
Thanks for your interest.

Hi,
I think Piotnet Forms honeypot is a classic one, hidden and awaiting to be blindly filled by a bot:
https://piotnetforms.com/piotnetforms/honeypot/…which is different from WP Armour using JS, and probably less reliable:
We have used the honeypot technic differently in this plugin to make it work better. What other plugin does is, they add honeypot anti spam field from server side (PHP) and check if the spam bot have filled or not. If it is filled it is marked as spam. But in our case, we add honeypot anti spam field from client side (Javascript) and check if honeypot field exists or not. Spam bots can’t use javascript and honeypot field is not available for them. This way we can better trap spam bot.
Someone on Piotnet Forms FB suggested that bots could bypass classic honeypots by only filling required fields, provided they can detect them.
It makes sense to me and would break classic honeypots efficiency, right?
