When I try to post a comment, I got this error : Google reCAPTCHA vérification échouée.
Le paramètre de réponse est non valide ou malformé. (I use recaptchaV3)

After installing this plugin, the limit logins spikes up. I’m not 100% sure of this,
but I’ve noticed it on several webistes I edit. Maybe something to look into. As
plugin itself, it is ok, but something not right realted to spikes in fake logins.

I need to donate a few dollars to this guy. I don’t normally comment on plugins 
unless they just stand out. reCAPTCHA plugins should be simple and this one is. 
It’s rare to see plugins that just do what they are supposed to without adding all
this extra crap to them so they can vomit wordpress notifications at you to buy 
something with pro to the end of the name. To be honest, do I really need a plugin
to add reCAPTCHA to my site? NO, but clients appreciate it. The less code or scripts
I have to explain the better. This is one of my favorite apps. If I ever get more
spare time I’d love to help this developer continue this project into the future.
Thank you Michal Novák maintaining this plugin.

### 󠀁[The most easier recaptcha plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-most-easier-recaptcha-plugin/)󠁿

This ReCaptcha is the most straightforward I have ever seen. It would be great if
I could set the link in the note open in a new tab. I mean this –> This site is 
protected by reCAPTCHA and the Google Privacy Policy and Terms of Service apply.
Currently it is open in the same tab which I don’t wish to.
