TrustSig Security blocks scripted bots before they ever reach your site \u2014 silently, with zero friction for real visitors.<\/strong> No puzzles. No \"I am not a robot\" checkboxes. No third-party signup required to start.<\/p>\n\n <\/a>\n<\/a>\n<\/a><\/p>\n\n TrustSig injects a lightweight browser SDK, signs every rendered form with a per-site secret, and verifies submissions against the TrustSig Edge service. Real visitors pass an invisible check in about a second; scripted clients that never run JavaScript are stopped.<\/p>\n\n When a request arrives without a valid token, TrustSig does not silently fail\nopen. Depending on the mode you choose it serves a lightweight \"please wait\"\ninterstitial that re-verifies the browser and then transparently continues the\noriginal request \u2014 or blocks it.<\/p>\n\n The plugin works out of the box with no account and no API keys<\/strong> (anonymous\nfree tier). Connecting a TrustSig dashboard account is optional and only adds\nanalytics and higher limits.<\/p>\n\n Browser forms are protected automatically with no code:<\/p>\n\n It also includes optional brute-force lockout for repeated failed logins, an\nopt-in admin-ajax \/ REST API guard, and a developer verification API.<\/p>\n\n This plugin relies on the TrustSig Edge<\/strong> service to decide whether a request\ncomes from a human or an automated client. This bot-detection verdict cannot be\nproduced locally, so the service is required for the plugin's core\nfunctionality.<\/p>\n\n Service provider:<\/strong> TrustSig \u2014 https:\/\/trustsig.eu<\/p>\n\n Remote script loaded in the browser:<\/strong>\n https:\/\/edge.trustsig.eu\/trustsig.js is loaded on pages that contain a\nprotected form, on the login screen, and on the verification interstitial. The\nscript runs the non-interactive browser check and produces a verification\ntoken.<\/p>\n\n Data sent from the visitor's browser \/ your server to\n https:\/\/edge.trustsig.eu\/verify:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n When data is sent:<\/strong> when the SDK loads on a protected page, when a protected\nform is submitted, and once per browser when the optional verified-session\ncookie is bootstrapped.<\/p>\n\n Data stored locally on your site:<\/strong> TrustSig writes a verification log to\nyour own WordPress database (custom tables) that includes visitor IP addresses,\nthe action attempted, and the verdict. This data is not sent to TrustSig; you\ncan clear it at any time from Settings \u2192 TrustSig \u2192 Tools.<\/p>\n\n By installing and activating this plugin you (the site administrator) consent to\nthis data being sent to TrustSig so that requests can be verified. Inform your\nown site's visitors as required by your local privacy obligations.<\/p>\n\n No. The plugin protects your forms immediately on activation using the\nanonymous free tier. An account is only needed for analytics and higher limits.<\/p><\/dd>\n A browser verification token, your site host name (or your secret key if you\nconnect an account), and standard HTTPS request metadata are sent to the\nTrustSig Edge service. See the \"External services\" section above for the full\ndisclosure, including links to the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n In Challenge mode (the default) a visitor whose token is missing sees a brief\n\"please wait\" page that re-verifies the browser and then continues the original\nrequest automatically. Monitor mode never blocks. Enforce mode is the strictest\nand can block visitors with JavaScript disabled.<\/p><\/dd>\n Yes. Forms are signed with a server-issued nonce and the SDK fills the token\nclient-side, so cached pages are still protected.<\/p><\/dd>\n Settings \u2192 TrustSig \u2192 Tools shows a private recovery URL that bypasses all\nchecks once.
