KeyCAPTCHA Unique Technologies
Instead of guessing symbols, our CAPTCHA offers visitors to complete an easy interactive task.
If KeyCAPTCHA hasn't been solved correctly, page refreshing doesn't take place that allows the user not to fill in the form repeatedly. It occurs since there is an initial checkup of CAPTCHAs in the KeyCAPTCHA servers before sending a filled-in form to the protected web server.
Our CAPTCHA also can be used even if your hosting provider blocks all outgoing connections.
Effective Anti-Spam Protection
The geo-cluster is used to operate KeyCAPTCHA service. Our geo-cluster includes the servers located in diverse European data centers. Some servers are in the special DDoS stable data centers in Switzerland to ensure trouble-free 24x7x365 mode service operation.
KeyCAPTCHA blocks spammers using anonymizers or anonymous HTPP proxies to distribute a hand spam.
There is no info of correct CAPTCHA solution in the visitor's browser.
CAPTCHA verification is processed by the KeyCAPTCHA servers.
Data transferring between your web server, the visitor's browser and the KeyCAPTCHA server is protected by a digital signature.
112 to 165 bit variable length password is used to generate a digital signature.
KeyCAPTCHA is a code executable in the visitor's browser. It is not a static image as used in typical CAPTCHAs.
Having received our CAPTCHA, it's virtually impossible to transfer it to third parties in order to run any task what spammers also do bypassing typical CAPTCHAs.
Probability of guessing the answer by submitting a random solution is 1 to 30,000,000.
KeyCAPTCHA-used images are transferred encryptedly.
Compatibility
KeyCAPTCHA supports two operating modes: Flash and HTML5. The KeyCAPTCHA HTML5 mode is used in most modern browsers, such as Mozilla FireFox, Google Chrome, Safari, and also used in iPhone and iPad. The Flash mode has been developed to be used in Internet Explorer and Opera. While loading, KeyCAPTCHA identifies its operating mode depending on the visitor's browser.

Hi, lazidesis,
thank you for your interest.
We added announcement of our KeyCAPTCHA in "vBulletin 4.x Add-ons" (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=257294) forum.
Recently, and before this announcement, we made this compatible with any of the versions of vBulletin from 3.7 to 4.x. We thourougly tested it in all. Before, we had separate plugins for 3.7-3.8.5 and 4.x versions.
One can download and install KeyCAPTCHA plugin for VBulletin (now for versions 3.7-4x, ) directly from our site https://www.keycaptcha.com/?changelang=en . It is free but one should register there to find download and instructions specific per each of many different supported CMSs
Best,
KeyCAPTCHA Team

I've installed it in 3.7.3 and after the terms agreement page, i get a blank page. Switching back to recaptcha works just fine.
What could be the problem?

We have launched a new Email protectiion service which is not yet reflected on our website but it is fully functional and tested:
http://hidemail.at
You may publish your Email adresses publicly (in chats, forums, twitter, facebook, etc.) as a protected from web scraper/harvesters link.
We believe that it can be also used instead of Contact US form or even by blogger that do not have access to plugin installations.
As an example, you can try out now by clicking the link:

Hello, bailradio,
this is spectacular!
Could we ask for your time to post a couple of words (or less)
on official phpBB KeyCAPTCHA contribution (http://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/contributions/index.php?c=keycaptcha&page=support&type=mod)
where we do not have a single positive feedback
but only posts with (transient technical support) problems?
We were kind of waiting for such feedback there for quite a time,
but it is not happening there
We would really appreciate your time and help!

I Share The Following Tips to KeyCAPTCHA Users to Stop and Control SPAMMERS, TROLLS and LEECHERS, From Registering in Your vBulletin Boards, I Like to Post it on All the KEYCAPTCHA Mod Topics because I Know this Will Benefit All vBulletin Board Administrators:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but spam on our forum and increased tenfold since installing KeyCAPTCHA. If anything, it seems less secure than the reCAPTCHA or the Q&A methods (both of which are far from perfect, but seem to reduce spam more than KeyCAPTCHA does). I've been deleting spam posts and banning spammers all day for a couple of days now - hundreds of them - since installing this.
I DISAGREE With You, Morrus.
As the Matter of FACT, KeyCAPTCHA STOPS 100% of SPAM BOTS, because SPAM BOTS Can't Solve the PUZZLES.
Is 100% Impossible to STOP SPAMMERS (Persons) From Registering, (NO SYSTEM CAN Simply Because Humans Find Ways to Try and Joke Any Registration System), but You Can Implemment and Configure Other Systems to Reduce That From Happening:
1. KEYCAPTCHA (Stops 100% of SPAM BOTS), So USE IT.
2. Create and Set "User Profile Fields", and Force Users to Write Answers in Them, so that They Have to Write Coherent Answers, (SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS Will Provide Wrong Answers and those You'll BAN For doing that because those are SPAMMERS).
3. Use the "COPPA Registration System", so that No Person Can Write ANY Birth Date, and Also to NOT Accept Registrations Under 13 Years Old.
4. Set To YES the "Moderate New Members" Option on the "User Registration Options", so that You Can Review the Answers that Users Make to the "User Profile Fields" Before Accepting their Accounts. Give Yourself the Opportunity to BAN TROLLS and SPAMMERS that Write TRASH on those Fields, they for Sure Will Be SPAMMERS.
5. Set "Follow Forum Moderation Rules If no, posts are always placed into moderation queue" on "Post / Thread Permissions" as "NO", for Usergroups Not Approved ("Not Activated" and "Pending Approval"), so that Every message They Post is Moderated, and that Way NO SPAM from HUMAN SPAMMERS or TROLLS is Viewed (can be Posted but NO ONE WILL SEE IT), and that way if they Post SPAM You BAN THEM and Delete their TRASH Posts. NEVER Allow those Usergroups to Create New Threads.
6. Use Also an Additional System as "vMail - Verify Mail before registration (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=201466)", so that No User Can Register Without Validating His/Her Contact E-mail Address.
7. Use Also another Additional System as "NoSpam! for vBulletin 3.7 (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=183329)", so that Users Have to Answer a Validation Question (like a Mathematical Question or whatever related to Your Web Site), so that No User Can Register Without Knowing the Answer to that Question.
8. There are other thing More to Tell, but with the Previous Ones You'll STOP SPAMMERS, TROLLS, and LEECHERS, so much, that You'll Reduce their Registrations and Keep Them Under Control. Also Many Users Will be Annoyed by that, but You Have to Choose if You Want QUALITY Users Registering or Just QUANTITY (The Quantity don't Participate, they're Just LEECHERS).
I 100% Recommend KEYCAPTCHA, Because is a Beautiful AntiSPAM-BOT System, and Also Provides a PUZZLE System that Only Humans Can Solve.
Thank You Very Much KEYCAPTCHA. :up::up::up:
My Best Regards.
:)

Is there any way I can move the puzzle down to the bottom of the registration form?
It makes the page load slow on my website and when the rest of the page loads, it takes a while for the puzzle to actually show up. So people miss it and don't understand why the form is telling them they didn't complete all the required fields.

Any suggestions to fix this issue? Your help is very much appreciated.
