To prevent bot attacks against your One Identity Password Manager deployment, you can configure anti-bot security measures for the Find User page of the Self-Service Site. Password Manager supports configuring CAPTCHA images and reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 security solutions.
 
    
You can configure the One Identity Password Manager Self-Service Site to display CAPTCHA images on its Find User page as an anti-bot security measure.
 
To configure CAPTCHA images for the Self-Service Site
- 
In the Password Manager Administration Site, navigate to General Settings > Search and Logon Options.
 - 
Scroll down to Security Settings.
 - 
To enable the CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA settings, enable Show a security image to prevent bot attacks.
 - 
To configure the CAPTCHA settings, select Display CAPTCHA and click Settings.
 - In the CAPTCHA Settings dialog, configure the following options: 
- Number of characters: Specify the number of characters (1–15) to display on the generated CAPTCHA image. The default value is 5.
 - Noise level: Specify the number and size of noise artifacts on the generated CAPTCHA image. Higher levels mean more difficult readability.
 
When ready, click OK.
 - 
Under Security Settings, select Show a security image every time the search is performed to perform the configured anti-bot protection check each time a search is performed on the Find User page of the Self-Service Site.

You can configure the Find User page of the One Identity Password Manager Self-Service Site to include reCAPTCHA anti-bot protection. Password Manager supports the reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 engines.

Prerequisites
Before you configure reCAPTCHA v2 or v3 protection for the Password Manager Self-Service Site, make sure that the following conditions are met:
- 
The server running Password Manager has an active Internet connection and can communicate with the Google reCAPTCHA endpoint.
 - 
You must sign up and generate a reCAPTCHA site key and secret key from Google. For more information, see the Google reCAPTCHA portal.
| 
   
  | 
 NOTE: When generating the keys on the Google reCAPTCHA Admin site, provide the domain name(s) where the Password Manager Self-Service Site(s) are deployed. If multiple Self-Service Sites are deployed in several different domains, provide all the domains to generate the required number of site keys and secret keys.  |
