===Setting Up===
To start enabling recaptcha into your jomsocial site, please do the following
# Sign up for your jomsocial site domain at [http://www.google.com/recaptcha recaptcha's site].
# Open up JomSocial backend's Configuration.
# Scroll down to Registrations.
[[File:Security recaptcha1.jpg]]
# Enable ReCaptcha and key in the public and private keys acquired during ReCaptcha's registration.
# For SSL sites, choose 'Yes' for "Enable secure mode for Recaptcha".

====Word or two on ReCaptcha====
Many people will give good arguments for using ReCaptcha to prevent spambots to register on the site, however, if jomSocial registration flow is the [[JomSocialRedirect|only way for users to register on the site]], and you use [[Custom Profile Fields]], you will most likely do just fine without ReCaptcha as there is no way for spambots to guess all the custom profile fields you set, specially if you use combo of dropdowns, checkboxes, multiple selects etc...
