A new weapon against bots. Google has introduced reCAPTCHA v3 to help you detect abusive traffic on your Website without user interaction. Google reCAPTCHA v3 will, instead of showing a CAPTCHA challenge, return a score so you can choose the most appropriate action for your Site.
This is what Google said on its official blog:
Over the last decade, reCAPTCHA has continuously evolved its technology. In reCAPTCHA v1, every user was asked to pass a challenge by reading distorted text & typing into a box. To improve both user experience & security, we introduced reCAPTCHA v2 & began to use many other signals to determine whether a request came from a human or bot. This enabled reCAPTCHA challenges to move from a dominant to a secondary role in detecting abuse, letting about half of users pass with a single click.
Now with reCAPTCHA v3, we are fundamentally changing how Sites can test for human vs. bot activities by returning a score to tell you how suspicious an interaction is and eliminating the need to interrupt users with challenges at all. reCAPTCHA v3 runs adaptive risk analysis in the background to alert you of suspicious traffic while letting your human users enjoy a frictionless experience on your Site.
More Accurate Bot Detection with “Actions”
Google reCAPTCHA v3 brings in a new concept – “Action”—a tag that users can use to define the key steps of their user journey & enable reCAPTCHA to run its risk analysis in context. reCAPTCHA v3 can also be used on multiple pages, allowing the adaptive risk analysis engine to identify the pattern of attackers more accurately by looking at the activities across different pages on a Website.
In the reCAPTCHA admin console, you can get a full overview of reCAPTCHA score distribution & a breakdown for the stats of the top 10 actions on your Site, to help you identify which exact pages are being targeted by bots & how suspicious the traffic was on those pages, said Google.
