Hello,
I am probably not the only one receiving a mail that starts as follows:
“”
Earlier this year, we informed you about the upcoming migration of all Google reCAPTCHA keys to Google Cloud projects by the end of 2025.

We're now reaching out to inform you that your reCAPTCHA keys are eligible for migration.

“”

So far I have a website where people can “register” and “log in” - and as some extra check I have added a free reCAPTCHA.

Now I do simply not understand what that mail wants to tell me! Except: If you become a paying customer, we can offer you tons of fancy features in the future. Ok, that is obvious.

However what I do NOT read: If you just want to continue a free reCAPTCHA in your website login, do the following… etc.

So my question is: Is there such an option at all? Or is the message basically telling me that in the future I will have to either drop that reCAPTCHA or pay for it?

Thanks for any helpful answer, and best regards,

cobo
