Most teams protect their login page carefully and leave the password reset flow almost open. Attackers know this. They use the reset flow to enumerate valid accounts, flood inboxes with automated emails, steal tokens through weak link generation, and bypass the login protections you spent time hardening. This guide explains […]

ALTCHA and CAPTCHA.eu solve the same problem: bot protection without cookies or reCAPTCHA’s privacy overhead, but they do it in fundamentally different ways. ALTCHA is open-source and self-hosted. CAPTCHA.eu is a managed, EU-hosted service. The right choice depends on how much infrastructure your team wants to own and what your […]

Account takeover fraud cost consumers $15.6 billion in 2024, and 33% of victims abandon the affected service entirely even after their account is restored. Attackers do not need to break your systems. They use credentials stolen from other breaches, automated bots, and phishing to walk through your front door. This […]

Keycloak ships with reCAPTCHA built into its registration flow. For European organisations, that default creates cookies, US data transfers, and a privacy documentation burden on the three flows that matter most: login, registration and password reset.

Credential stuffing attacks use real passwords stolen from prior breaches, not guesswork. That makes them faster, harder to detect, and more damaging than brute force. This guide covers the six defences that stop them, what to do if an attack is already running and which endpoints to protect first. At […]

Brute force attacks are one of the most persistent threats to website security. In 2026, they combine stolen credential lists, distributed botnets and AI-optimised guessing, making single-layer defences insufficient. This guide explains how each protection layer works, where it falls short on its own, and how to combine them effectively. […]

Friendly Captcha and CAPTCHA.eu are two of the strongest privacy-focused CAPTCHA options for European website operators. Both avoid image puzzles, both emphasise data protection, and both keep verification friction low. The real question is not which product is credible, both are. The question is which product fits your legal, technical […]

Cloudflare Turnstile is one of the strongest CAPTCHA alternatives available today. It is modern, developer-friendly, and low-friction for real users.
