Troubleshoot reCAPTCHA issues

We use Google reCAPTCHA to protect our platform from bots and automated abuse. It runs quietly in the background to verify that a real person is using the site. When the system cannot confidently confirm this, certain actions may be blocked.

Why a user might fail a reCAPTCHA check

Below are the most common reasons a score may be too low, along with what the user can do to fix it.
1. Browser or device appears suspicious
Possible causes:
  • Using privacy‑focused browsers, ad blockers, or extensions that alter scripts.
  • Browser not updated.
  • Using incognito/private mode.
What to do:
  • Disable extensions temporarily.
  • Try a standard browser (Chrome, Safari, Edge, Firefox).
  • Update the browser.
  • Try outside incognito mode.
2. Network issues or shared IP reputation
Possible causes:
  • VPN, proxy, or corporate network with many users.
  • Your IP address has low trust due to previous activity from others.
What to do:
  • Disable VPN/proxy.
  • Switch to mobile data or another Wi‑Fi network.
  • Restart your router.
3. Automated‑like behaviour
Possible causes:
  • Page left open for a long time.
  • Rapid clicking or form submissions.
  • Using script blockers.
What to do:
  • Refresh the page and try again.
  • Complete actions at a normal pace.
  • Allow scripts to run normally.
4. Cookies or JavaScript disabled
Possible causes:
  • Browser settings blocking cookies.
  • JavaScript disabled.
What to do:
  • Enable cookies.
  • Ensure JavaScript is enabled.
  • Allow the domain to run necessary scripts.
5. ReCAPTCHA temporary scoring issue
Possible causes:
  • Google may occasionally score traffic incorrectly.
  • Sudden IP or device changes.
What to do:
  • Try again after a few minutes.
  • Use a consistent device + network.

If the issue continues

If none of the above helps, please contact us with:
  • The approximate time of the issue.
  • The browser and device used.
  • Whether a VPN or extensions were active.
This helps us investigate further and ensure you can access the platform normally.
