ReCAPTCHA
ReCAPTCHA is basically a system that uses an advanced risk analysis engine that helps web hosts to make sure whether the access is initiated by a human or any automated tool or system.
Prerequisites

- Site Key and Secret Key from reCAPTCHA account. You can create an account here: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin/create

Now, Go to WSDesk > Settings > Tickets settings >Ticket Fields.
- Click the Add Field button.
- From the drop-down list, select Google reCAPTCHA.
3. Give a title to the field.
4. Enter the Secret Key and Site Key from your reCAPTCHA account. It is mandatory to enter Site Key and Secret Key to make the reCAPTCHA work. You can test the feature with the below credentials, but for production, you should use Site Key and Secret Key from your account.
