Captcha is a short test to provide a challenge that a human can solve, but a computer bot cannot. This means ideally it can filter out any bots from the software.

NOTE: You have to have business admin to enable this

In Trail, CAPTCHA will appear when a user signs up for the first time through a registration link, or creates a new account from your organisation's sign-in page.

To toggle this function, go to General under your Organisation Settings.

This means anyone trying to register/ create a new account, will see this checkbox:

Under normal circumstances, the user will fill in their details and would be able to check this off and continue.

The actual CAPTCHA image test will only appear if the activity of this user seems suspicious. (e.g. This could include having the sign up form being filled out too quickly as if it were automated).

In this case, there would be an image in which you have to do a task of e.g. selecting any image showing cars/ bridges/ chimneys.
