I found the WHMCS help article regarding custom client fields. Unfortunately, implementing this did NOT work => https://help.whmcs.com/m/64764/l/878335 I have recaptcha and the required custom client field in place. I have also disabled "Allow Client Registration". Yet still, the spammy client registrations continue... I tried custom field too with no results. hcaptcha is the only (easy and free) way I solved. recaptcha v3 might also be a good option, but I can't use it as it block some inbound links to domain registration page. If you try hcaptcha let us know if it solved. Probably email account activation before purchase submission would also be a good option, but it's not there yet... https://requests.whmcs.com/idea/force-email-verification-before-account-provisioning 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhost Posted Friday at 07:24 PM Share Posted Friday at 07:24 PM Update! I am not sure why I didn't try this first, but switching from reCaptcha v2 to the Invisible Captcha has fixed the issue. I was about to try the CloudFlare Turnstile... Anyway, thanks for your comments and help! I bought myself a little time to prepare for the upgrade to 8.13. Cheers! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhost Posted Friday at 10:55 PM Share Posted Friday at 10:55 PM Well crap, I spoke too soon. I was still using the reCaptcha v2 secret key after switching to the Invisible reCaptcha option in WHMCS's General Settings. I.e. No client registrations were going through. Period. Bots or human beings. Everything broke. Once I updated the secret key to match the Invisible reCaptcha option, the spamming returned, as did regular functionality for real clients. Sigh...I will report back tomorrow with my CloudFlare Turnstile testing results...Just in case anybody is following along now or in the future. Thanks! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, I don't have the hCaptcha option in my General Settings yet. Although I will have to upgrade soon, one way or another. I will keep you posted.

Tman1816c Posted Friday at 11:07 PM Share Posted Friday at 11:07 PM You can fix this only with Cloudflare Turnstile - I thought this was clear months ago, so many of us here have had this issue, and all that worked is Cloudflare. Use hCAPTCHA and Cloudflare, and you will have no more issues 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
