# reCAPTCHA
GitLab leverages [Google's reCAPTCHA](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html)
to protect against spam and abuse. GitLab displays the CAPTCHA form on the sign-up page
to confirm that a real user, not a bot, is attempting to create an account.
## Configuration
To use reCAPTCHA, first you must create a public and private key.
1. Go to the URL: https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin
1. Fill out the form necessary to obtain reCAPTCHA keys.
1. On your GitLab server, open the configuration file.
For omnibus package:
```sh
sudo editor /etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb
```
For installations from source:
```sh
cd /home/git/gitlab
sudo -u git -H editor config/gitlab.yml
```
1. Enable reCAPTCHA and add the settings:
For omnibus package:
```ruby
gitlab_rails['recaptcha_enabled'] = true
gitlab_rails['recaptcha_public_key'] = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'
gitlab_rails['recaptcha_private_key'] = 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'
```
For installation from source:
```
recaptcha:
enabled: true
public_key: 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY'
private_key: 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY'
```
1. Change 'YOUR_PUBLIC_KEY' to the public key from step 2.
1. Change 'YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY' to the private key from step 2.
1. Save the configuration file.
1. Restart GitLab.
