    Hi @more2think,

    Firstly, thank you for the kind words! It’s great to hear that you enjoy our plugin.

    As for your question, yes, we can help with that.

    For protection against spam signups, spam submissions, and fake account creation:

    • changing the signup paths using Hide My WP Ghost will make those spam bots stop because they won’t find where to sign up anymore;
    • changing the register path helps you prevent spam emails with new user requests;
    • you can also activate?Brute Force protection.

    If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to reach out.

    Hi Vassos,

    Recaptcha is a tool that helps to prevent automated bots from filling out forms on a website. Bots can be used to flood forms with spam or malicious content, which can be harmful to the website and its users. By using Recaptcha, website owners can verify that the user filling out the form is a real person and not a bot.

    Hide My WP, on the other hand, is a tool that helps to protect websites from attacks by bots and other malicious actors. It can be used to hide certain parts of the website and make it more difficult for bots to identify vulnerabilities and exploit them. However, it is important to note that Hide My WP is not a substitute for Recaptcha, as they serve different purposes.
