Altcha CAPTCHA

Magento's built-in CAPTCHA often frustrates users with hard-to-read images, while external solutions like reCAPTCHA raise privacy concerns and require third-party cookies.

With the Altcha CAPTCHA extension, you can now protect your Magento 2 store with a modern, privacy-focused, and frictionless proof-of-work CAPTCHA!

This extension integrates seamlessly with Magento's native CAPTCHA module. It offers to replace the traditional image-based CAPTCHA with a self-hosted, "invisible" challenge that the user's browser solves automatically. No cookies, no tracking, and no external requests are required to protect your store from bots.

 Features

• Privacy-Focused Protection: This module leverages the Altcha proof-of-work mechanism that doesn't track users or use cookies, making it fully GDPR-compliant.
• Native Integration: Complements the standard Magento CAPTCHA in both frontend and admin backend forms.
• Support for All Standard Forms: Enable it for Customer Login, Forgot Password, Create Account, Contact Us, and Admin Login.
• Replay Attack Protection: Includes a built-in mechanism to track and invalidate solved challenges, preventing bots from reusing solutions.
• Frictionless UX: The challenge is solved in the background by the visitor's browser, often without any manual interaction required from the user.
• Self-Hosted & Secure: Everything is handled within your Magento installation using the official Altcha PHP library.

 Benefits & Use Cases

• Enhance User Experience: Say goodbye to annoying "type the characters you see" images. Your customers will appreciate the smooth, modern interface.
• Improve Privacy Compliance: Avoid the legal complexities of third-party CAPTCHA providers. Since Altcha doesn't track users, it's a perfect fit for privacy-conscious merchants.
• Stop Automated Attacks: Effectively block brute-force login attempts and spam registrations without penalizing real human users.
• Universal Protection: Protect both your storefront and your Magento Admin Panel with the same secure technology.
