    Dear WPForms:

    We, tsglma.org, use reCAPTCHA on a couple of our WPForms forms after rather blindly following your instructions for integrating it. We just got an email message from Google with the subject: [Action Advised] Migrate Google reCAPTCHA key to a Google Cloud Project by the end of 2025. It says, in part:

    We’re writing to inform you that all Google reCAPTCHA keys will need to be migrated to a Google Cloud project by the end of 2025. This will unite all reCAPTCHA customers under a single set of terms, a consistent pricing structure, and provide access to advanced security features.

    We’ve provided additional information below to guide you through this change.What you need to do

    We will apply the change in phases throughout the year, reaching out again by email when your keys become eligible. At that time, we will automatically create a Google Cloud project for you and associate your keys to it.

    However, we recommend that you get ahead of this process by following these instructions to manually migrate from reCAPTCHA Classic. This way you will be able to prescribe exactly which Google Cloud project you’ll associate with your key.

    What guidance can you offer? Do we need to do anything, that is, are you going to hide significant parts of what seems like a painful experience for us if we have to strike out on our under an enhanced integration? It seems like we will easily be over our heads given that we don’t even know what a Google Cloud Project is, much less a Google Cloud billing account.

    Hi @arlingtoner,

    Thanks for reaching out about Google’s reCAPTCHA migration notice!

    The change is coming from Google’s side, requiring all reCAPTCHA keys to be managed under a Google Cloud project by the end of 2025. According to Google’s documentation (https://cloud.google.com/recaptcha/docs/migrate-recaptcha), the migration will mean:

    • You’ll need to manage reCAPTCHA through Google Cloud projects
    • There will be charges if you exceed 10,000 requests per month

    With this, you have two options:

    1. Migrate your reCAPTCHA key to Google Cloud:
    2. Switch to Alternative CAPTCHA solutions: If you’d rather avoid dealing with Google Cloud or potential costs, we have two excellent, free alternatives that are much simpler to set up:

    Please let me know if you need any additional help with WPForms!

    Thanks!

    Hi @arlingtoner,

    We haven’t heard back from you in a few days, so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread for now. But if you’d like us to assist further, please feel welcome to continue the conversation.

    Thanks!
