# reCAPTCHA
GitLab leverages [Google's reCAPTCHA](https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/index.html)
to protect against spam and abuse. GitLab displays the CAPTCHA form on the sign-up page
to confirm that a real user, not a bot, is attempting to create an account.
## Configuration
To use reCAPTCHA, first you must create a site and private key.

## Enabling reCAPTCHA for user logins via passwords
By default, reCAPTCHA is only enabled for user registrations. To enable it for
user logins via passwords, the `X-GitLab-Show-Login-Captcha` HTTP header must
be set. For example, in NGINX, this can be done via the `proxy_set_header`
configuration variable:
```
proxy_set_header X-GitLab-Show-Login-Captcha 1;
```
In GitLab Omnibus, this can be configured via `/etc/gitlab/gitlab.rb`:
```ruby
nginx['proxy_set_headers'] = { 'X-GitLab-Show-Login-Captcha' => 1 }
```
