Get your reCAPTCHA API details from the google recaptcha site.

Create reCAPTCHA V2 Checkbox API keys.

Now, the users will have to complete a captcha at the time of registration.

Anyone Can Register Option of WordPress

WordPress has an option that allows anyone to go to WordPress’s registration page and create a WP user account. This WordPress feature can open your site up for spam user registration.

You can find this settings option in the General WordPress settings menu of your site.

Our Simple Membership plugin DOES NOT need that option to be enabled. So you should keep the “Anyone can register” checkbox unchecked.

All membership registration should go via Simple Membership plugin’s registration form.
