 * Is the ‘Ultimate Member – reCAPTCHA’ still OK to use? It’s not been updated in
   a long time. Is there a better way to protect registration forms from bots?

 * If you want to follow the GDPR, LGPD, CCPA privacy laws
    it’s better to use the“
   hCaptcha for WP” plugin.

 * Does it work with Ultimate Member? The thing is we’re already using Google Recaptcha
   for other things. Is it not a bit messy to have multiple happening at once?

 * I have been using the “hCaptcha for WP” plugin for the last three years.

 * Hello [@jonpbradley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jonpbradley/)
 * The reCAPTCHA extension will be updated soon. A new version of the extension 
   will be released with a new core. 
   The current version (2.3.8) of the “Ultimate
   Member – reCAPTCHA” plugin is compatible with the current version (2.12.0) of
   the “Ultimate Member” core plugin.
 * You can use the [Friendly Captcha](https://wordpress.org/plugins/friendly-captcha/)
   or [hCaptcha for WP](https://wordpress.org/plugins/hcaptcha-for-forms-and-more/)
   suggested by [@missveronicatv](https://wordpress.org/support/users/missveronicatv/)
   as an alternative for the Google reCAPTCHA. These third-party plugins have integration
   with Ultimate Member login and registration forms.
 * You can use the free [Math Captcha](https://github.com/umdevelopera/um-math-captcha)
   extension in addition to the Google reCAPTCHA or separately. This extension adds
   the Math Captcha field to the Ultimate Member registration form.
 * Regards
