Awesome tutorial, @westnz! Accessible, thorough, and informative 👏

One nitpicky comment: reCAPTCHA is Google's CAPTCHA product. It's so popular it became synonymous with the technology but it's also very controversial (see some background here).

Thank you @ironnysh
Are you suggesting I mention it is a Google product? How would you word it? 😄

[ironnysh]

I personally resent it when machines force me to prove I'm human 😀 BUT, if you do want to include it as an option, how about scrubbing the "re" and referring to the general CAPTCHA?
Then you'd have a Plugins page that also presents alternative implementations (Cloudflare Turnstile, for example).

That is helpful. Thanks @ironnysh 😉

Love this topic and demonstrations. Thank for the great work. I do find it's easy to follow and understand. I also follow the tutorial and get exact outcome I expected. Cheer!

Third review completed - moved to Preparing to Publish.

Nice job Wes. Ronny's comment is correct in that reCAPTCHA is a Google product based upon the original CAPTCHA system. You might just mention that part as another decision point for users looking for more options.

Thank you very much for the review @yan-kuan, and @SierraTR for confirming + moving to Preparing to Publish.
