Talk:Security FAQ

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,

Hi, Can you please add es:Seguridad FAQ to this protected page for the English Moodle 3.0, 2.x and 1.9 docs? Thanks in advance. German Valero (talk)

Thanks German, I have added the link to the 2.8 - 3.0 English docs. --Helen Foster (talk) 22:39, 17 November 2015 (AWST)

Thanks Helen. That was fast :) German Valero (talk)

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? Also, bearing in mind the blind and visually impaired who have difficulty with reCaptcha, there has to be some discussion or some alternative. --Colin Fraser (talk) 17:06, 19 September 2016 (AWST)

A little digging and I ran across this article from Vision Australia on Effective alternatives to inaccessible CAPTCHAS. --Colin Fraser (talk) 19:54, 19 September 2016 (AWST)

Hi Colin, if you've not done so already, I suggest you post on moodle.org about alternatives to Captcha and also make sure there is an issue for it in the tracker, since not many people watch pages in Moodle Docs. --Helen Foster (talk) 20:08, 19 September 2016 (AWST)

Yes, of course, I knew that...:) Doh!!--Colin Fraser (talk) 18:56, 21 September 2016 (AWST)
