I understand that reCaptcha has been hacked as recently as April 2016. Not a big fan of using Captcha or reCaptcha, is there anything else that can be used to validate human/nonhuman identities? Something that is free and maybe not easy to hack?

Hi, Maybe adding a link to https://moodle.org/plugins/local_csp (Content Security Policy) additional plugin would be a good addition to this (or another similar) security Docs page. This plugin allows an admin to create a Custom Security Policy (CSP) in both reporting mode and enforcing mode. A simple use case is to detect and cleanup issues with non secure content after a migration from http to https, through to advanced policies to mitigate from XSS attacks.  [[User:German Valero|German Valero]] ([[User talk:German Valero|talk]])

Hi,
Can you please add a link to [https://docs.moodle.org/dev/GDPR_For_Administrators GDPR for administrators] - GDPR stands for General Data Protection Regulation and refers to the European Union regulation for data protection for all individuals within the European Union. The regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679)2 becomes enforceable on 25 May 2018 and replaces the data protection directive (officially Directive 95/46/EC)3 from 1995. ?
Thanks in advancee .  [[User:German Valero|German Valero]] ([[User talk:German Valero|talk]])

Not sure how long it has been (at least Moodle 2.5) since it was changed however to enable ReCAPTCHA you need to go to:

Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication

... not ...

Site Administration > Users > Authentication > Manage authentication.

Please update the Security FAQ as there is no Authentication under Users.

Best regards,

Michael Milette

Thanks Michael, I have amended the text. --Helen Foster (talk) 14:53, 4 February 2014 (WST)
