Captured by Captcha!

[SteveSlusser]

I either chose the wrong version of captcha, or typed in the wrong keys. Either way, I am declared to be a robot!

The error says the keys are invalid, but I have no way of logging in to change them.

So...where are the keys / captcha options stored in chevereto?

You can disable it at chv_settings.captcha by setting the value to 0.

You can edit the database directly or run this command:

app/bin/legacy -C setting-update -k captcha -v 0

Well, it took be a hot minute to figure out that /app was in my /html directory.
Once I executed this from the correct location I was back in business.

There are three captcha options. I believe that I was mistaken in the option that I chose (hence the keys did not match).
I should have chosen v3. I think I chose hCaptcha in error.

After resetting with the code above. I recreated my captcha keys (just be be sure) and voila! We have captcha!.

I hope this helps somebody else. I am opening my site for registration (again) and wanted to add this layer of protection.

I was looking into the cloud flare integration for captcha and it seems like this would be a better alternative.

I recently opened a free cloudfare account. It really helped to slow bot traffic. I did not look at their captcha. I already use Google analytics and captcha for several sites.

I am not certain that the cloudflare credentials are the same as Google. Check the external services page. Site ID, Site Key, Secret Key and version (3 choices). If the cloudflare provides those credentials, give it a try. You can always reverse it from the terminal.

Otherwise, you will have to follow cloudflare installation instructions. Post back your results.

I can definitely give it a try, keep in mind that for cloud flare, the invisible captcha means that it automates but effectively stops the use of bothet activity without the end user being aware.

You should (ironically) have experienced their famous "please wait while we verify you." Page from most popular sites.
