## Description

This plugin stops bad bots from attacking your forms using [hCaptcha](https://bettersecurity.co/hcaptcha/)
or simple maths questions

hCaptcha is a drop-in replacement for Google’s reCAPTCHA, but with the added benefit
of getting paid for challenges completed.

“Private. Secure. Faster. And we pay you to use it.”

Please note, you will need a free hCaptcha account for this plugin to work in hCaptcha
mode, but the simple maths questions mode works locally with no account required.
