What is reCAPTCHA?
reCAPTCHA is a system used to identify whether or not a form is being submitted by a human or a bot. Usually, this is done by asking the user to check a box labeled “I’m not a robot”, or by having the user complete a quick puzzle.
reCAPTCHA tests are easy for humans to solve but hard for bots and other malicious software to figure out.
Why is reCAPTCHA important in email marketing?
It’s more than likely that you’re using webforms and landing pages to collect your subscribers. By pairing reCAPTCHA with double opt-in, you’re setting up the best line of defence against bot attacks.
