    Have you tried adding the ReCAPTCHA from Google?
    https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1455

    I keep toying with the idea of adding a nonce to this form, but I've never taken the time to do it. Someday maybe.

    Basically theirs two different methods or ideas...
    1) is done within the code and if done correct can stop bots without the user doing anything..
    2) is a image, voice, text that the human must pass before they can complete there task..

    With Google ReCAPTCHA you have to use there servers to test humans, v2 was hacked in 2014. v3 is out, will see how long it goes...

    With nonCAPTCHA its your own server and done within the code with level 3 a simple user question.

    With work, tools, both methods can get bypassed..

    I'm not seeing this noncaptcha mod in the plugins... think it was there that I downloaded and installed it. Seems to work very well so far. Is there a reason it is not in the plugin section anymore, or has it been renamed?
