As of PR #3006 being merged, our user registration form now utilizes a reCAPTCHA v2.

For local development the two necessary settings: REFINERY_GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY & REFINERY_GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY default to "test" keys provided by Google as we don't need this protection in place locally.

Acquiring the Keys:

Navigate to https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin and log in with a google account
Register a new site specifying the domains that you wish to associate the given reCAPTCHA v2 with. NOTE: Any sub-domains of the domain you've provided will also be able to utilize this reCAPTCHA v2.

Utilizing the Keys:

Once you've registered a site, you should be able to view your Site Key and Secret Key
These values should then be used to populate the corresponding keys (REFINERY_GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SITE_KEY & REFINERY_GOOGLE_RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY) in config.yaml.erb
You are now all set to commence your AWS deployment!
Once your Refinery instance is deployed, the instance's user registration form will be reCAPTCHA-v2-ified!
