[Srinivas M]

Hi,

When i signup into recaptcha and try to add new site the reCaptha global key option is disappeared.

Do any one let me know how to create global key option.

I have run into the same issue. I want to create a set of global keys, but can't find a way to do so. There used to be a checkbox for specifying a global set of keys, but it is no longer visible. Support, is there still a way to create a set of global keys? The reCaptcha documentation says there is, but none of us have been able to find it. Thanks!

They seem to have removed this option and said nothing. I wish they would at least update their docs. Also, I find the need for multiple keys rather cumbersome as I am developing a multi-tenant app. Managing all those keys is going to be a pain. I'd really like to know the reasoning for removing this option. I only need basic anti-bot measures; this seems like overkill.

As i stated in my other thread. My framework should work without forcing differents applications to obtain a key. I really need this option so i think some info should be thrown in here

I've switched to CaptchaMvc instead:

Just as easy to use, but without the key-per-site hassle.

Hi there,

In our project we are facing the same problem, we need the global key. This feature is no longer available? In the documentation supposedly it can be used.

Thanks in advance for your support!

API Keys

To use reCAPTCHA, you need to sign up for API keys for your site. Unless you select the "global key" option, the keys are unique to your domain and sub-domains. (By default, all keys work on "localhost" (or "127.0.0.1"), so you can always develop and test on your local machine.)

Hello,

Someone from support may tell something to us? 

Thankyou beforehand

Hello All,

I think Global key option is made obsolete by Google recaptcha . Having said that, we shall still have the same api keys for multiple domains and its easy though.

While registering for api keys, give domain addresses with comma separator, thus they will all share the same keys. Adding to this, maximum domain that shall have same keys is restricted to count 15.(To the maximum, 15 sites shall share the same key.)

Suggestions  highly recommended.

Thanks!

Hey Omana011,

Thank you for the tip. It might work for me as a temporary solution, but still its needed some clarification from Recaptcha support team. Im still thinking to use another tool instead of recaptcha because of this matter, and id love to use recaptcha. However i need the global key option, or at least, a global key so the applications made with the framework were doing are able to use it in any domain.

yep!!!

what happened?!?!
was this simply...forgothen?!

Thank you for your suggestion Priya. However I need global key which works for all domains. Is there way to generate it.

[Priya N]

Ragesh,

Yes, we can have one global key having more than one domain. This is feasible while registering / Modifying site.

For existing registered site, domains can be added in Domains section.

Kindly follow the below steps to generate new key:

1. Login to google recapcha (https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin#site)

2. Register a new site.

3. Enter the domains. (If its more than one domain enter one domain name per line)

4. Generate the key.

API keys will be generated. 

Please find below screen shot which is self explanatory.

Hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Thanks,

Priya N

Thanks Priya. As per your suggestion, we always have IP or domain name dependency with keys. 

Is there any way to avoid this dependency.

Hi,

We are also facing the same issue, Global key enable option will be handy, Other wise when ever we want to support new domain, we need to login in admin need to add that domain to support it.

Is there any way to get the global key.

Thanks

Hi everyone,

This can be achieved using the poorly documented "secure" token. You generate a token each time you render a captcha, unique to that page / site without having to specify the domain previously. https://developers.google.com/recaptcha/docs/secure_token

As you can see the documentation is extremely unclear however I've managed to get this to work using the following PHP class to generate the token; https://github.com/slushie/recaptcha-secure-token

Hope this helps you all!

Hi folks.

As you'll see on that docs page, the secure token option is deprecated.

I've also tried disabling domain validation in the registration, and leaving the domain field blank, but that shows only the msg "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key", instead of the CAPTCHA UI.

Really would like a solution to this. If such a thing is possible, it seems poorly documented. If not, that's "inconvenient".
