Hello all,

Version 1.2.1 is now released. It gives site admins the option to have the fallback to text CAPTCHA enabled (allowing compatibility with older browsers and users who disable JS), or the fallback disabled (which is more secure). From this version forward, the fallback will be disabled by default, so if you install this and still want FunCaptcha to fallback to a text CAPTCHA when JavaScript is disabled, you will need to go into the settings to enable the fallback. If the fallback is disabled and JavaScript is disabled, users see a message prompting them to enable JavaScript.

Why this change? After a thorough review, we find that some spamming programs can easily solve many text CAPTCHAs, including those we could use when the user has JavaScript disabled. These programs can pretend to be a browser with JavaScript disabled. For maximum protection, we recommend keeping the fallback to text CAPTCHA disabled. As always, we are dedicated to keeping the bots out while giving your users a faster, easier experience.

Kind regards,
FunCaptcha team
