As of Mastodon 4.2, using CAPTCHA technology is supported to help mitigate against bots signing up for new accounts.
With CAPTCHA enabled, new registrations will be required to complete a challenge response as part of the e-mail verification process.

{{< hint style="danger" >}}
For some people, the use of a central CAPTCHA service may be a security and privacy concern.
In addition, CAPTCHA can make the registration process significantly less accessible to some people.
{{</ hint >}}
Currently, hCaptcha is the only available provider supported by Mastodon.
Other providers may be added in the future.
## hCaptcha
- Create a free hCaptcha account at [hcaptcha.com](https://www.hcaptcha.com)
- After completing registration, generate a Site Key and Site Secret from the hCaptcha dashboard
- Add the values to your Mastodon environment configuration as `HCAPTCHA_SITE_KEY` and `HCAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY`
- Restart the Mastodon services running on your server
- From the Mastodon web interface navigate to **Administration** > **Server settings** > **Registrations** and check the box labled "Require new users to solve a CAPTCHA to confirm their account"
