    Hi there.

    I just tried your plugin, but I failed to set the secret key…

    Thanks for any help.

    Hi @patrickhaond,

    On General settings page, there is a Notification section and button Register in it. It links to this registration page: https://www.hcaptcha.com/signup-interstitial. There, click the button “Add hCaptcha to my website or app“, and register.

    You will get the secret key, but only once. You should write it down, as it will never be shown again by the hCaptcha website.

    Add your domain and copy site key. Now you have 2 keys. Enter them on the General settings page, Check Site Config and Save Changes.

    Please let me know if you have managed to get the keys.

    Hi and thank you @kaggdesign for your help.

    That is what I did, I added a new website, but I never saw any secret key…
    So now when I go to My sites, I can see the website I registered with status active, but I can not get the secret key ?!

    According to their security policy, hcaptcha.com shows the secret key only once, when you create an account. If you didn’t write the secret key down, you will never see it again.

    What you can do is to delete your account and re-create it. At the first step you should save your secret key somewhere.

    It may look inconvenient, but I do not have influence on how hcaptcha.com works. I just developed this WP plugin.

    This can be regenerated at any time. Just visit settings:

    https://dashboard.hcaptcha.com/settings/secrets and choose Generate New Secret.
