How POWER CAPTCHA works
Set security level and usability features
POWER CAPTCHA - FEATURE DETAILS
More than just a captcha!
POWER CAPTCHA not only distinguishes humans from bots, but generally checks whether the access is authorized. Each interaction with the application generates an encrypted code (client footprint), which the central AI evaluates and remembers. In case of further interactions, we subsequently increase the difficulty level of the solution, extend the response time or reject further interactions for a certain time. However, we protect your website even before a captcha is displayed. With the Enterprise license, you can set certain security mechanisms to run in the background first and display a captcha only after several registration or login attempts. Alternatively, you can use only the security mechanisms in the background without ever displaying a captcha (no-captcha). Learn more about the POWER CAPTCHA feature details, and use our configuration examples to protect your forms and login areas. You can customize the configuration – depending on your license – to set the security level and usability factors yourself.
SECURITY LEVEL, USABILITY, ACCESSIBILITY
Configure POWER CAPTCHA according to your needs
SECURITY LEVEL
What complexity should the displayed captcha have and when should the complexity be increased?
USABILITY
After how many interactions should a captcha be displayed? Should a lock occur after an interaction limit is reached without first displaying a captcha?
CUSTOM ACTIONS
For example, what should happen in case of a lock? By default, an appropriate notice is displayed. If you have a different need, please contact our sales department.
ACCESSIBILITY
Activate the integrated e-mail authentication of POWER CAPTCHA to create a barrier-free access to your protected area.
PROTECT FORMS WITH POWER CAPTCHA
How to protect your forms
You want to protect your registration and contact forms? Adapt the listed examples to your needs and set the security level yourself. The configuration options depend on your POWER CAPTCHA plan. With the Enterprise version you can configure various settings according to your needs. The following examples show some configuration options within the Enterprise version.
Limit the data transmission via an IP address / client footprint:
- Display a captcha directly on the first transmission attempt.
- If the IP address / client footprint is used a second time within 30 minutes, you block the IP address e.g. for one hour.
Limit the use of email addresses in a staged process:
- First use within 48 hours: no captcha will be displayed.
- Second use: a captcha with 4×4 solutions is displayed; if the solution is wrong, the difficulty level can be increased to 6×6/8×8, etc.
- Third use: is rejected
SECURE YOUR LOGIN AREAS WITH POWER CAPTCHA
How to secure your login areas
To protect your login areas from unauthorized access, you can configure POWER CAPTCHA (as part of the Enterprise plan) as follows, for example:
Limit the access via the IP address / client footprint:
E.g. set a maximum of 10 login attempts within one hour and block them for 30 minutes after exceeding the limit.
Limit the login attempts via the user name:
- Set that e.g. a maximum of two login attempts are allowed within 24 hours per user.
- Alternatively, you can limit the number of incorrect password entries per user and hour and allow e.g. a maximum of three incorrect entries.
- You can also limit the number of login attempts using a combination of username and client footprint.
NO-CAPTCHA
Use POWER CAPTCHA as a no-captcha solution
With a “no-captcha” traffic monitoring and rule implementation, the transmission of data is done in the background and invisible to the user. I.e. you use the security mechanisms of POWER CAPTCHA (e.g. limitation of login attempts per hour) without a captcha being displayed.
How to use POWER CAPTCHA as a no captcha solution:
Limit the number of allowed requests from users / bots (per website or domain). If the limit you set is exceeded, you can – depending on your strategy – trigger various follow-up actions, e.g.
- Display of a corresponding notice
- Display of a captcha
The open programming allows you to make individual adjustments by your own developers. For example, you could delay requests (extending the response time of POWER CAPTCHA) or trigger a real-time alert (e.g. via e-mail).
POWER CAPTCHA - ACCESSIBILITY
Email authentication
Use POWER CAPTCHA’s e-mail authentication for barrier-free access! Simply click on the button “Access code by e-mail”. You will receive an authentication code by e-mail, which you can enter in a verification mask instead of clicking the captcha solution. Try out the feature in our demo!
