I hope you take a look. As of now, hCaptcha is no longer a great alternative. Some countries have already blocked it, and on top of that, hCaptcha isn't completely free. If you don't pay, you might lose many essential features.
Right now, Cloudflare Turnstile is an excellent replacement for it.
Thank you a lot!

hCaptcha is NOT the answer. WHMCS TEAM: Please read what your customers want. Turnstile is free and looks better than any other similar competitor, without ruining the user's navigation experience.
I am using Cloudflare Turnstile for a while through the hook provided but I would rather prefer to remove it and have a native option just for this.

Hello WHMCS Team,
I requested Turnstile integration because hCaptcha has a lot of unfriendly things. If I use the free hCaptcha account, then hCaptcha will not have customization options, which means I have to pay them $1188 per year to get those customization options. Turnstile is free, and if I use a free account, it will not force each visitor to go through complicated verification. Plus, Turnstile's UI is friendlier than Captcha. This is why Cloudflare replaced hCaptcha with Turnstile.
Hooks can easily cause some strange issues. I think we should wait for the WHMCS team to make a decision.

"Waiting" for WHMCS team to make a decision is likely to be a "No. We have other systems in place" answer. We are using the hook because we really want to use Turnstile instead of anything else, and it is working fine for months.

WHMCS really needs to add this. Other captchas ruin the user experience.

Looking forward for this implementation to replace Google Captcha...
We use Cloudflare's Turnstile on the most of our 50+ websites. The integrating takes less than 5 minute, normally just 2 lines of code :)

Stolen from the LTT channel, we can actually know that Google has a lot of security and privacy issues.

I would pay for a module for this feature but I think it should be included as part of whmcs security features.

- Google reCaptcha is blocked in China, so if you use that with WHMCS, users from China are forced to use a VPN if they want to do things like login or submit a ticket (if you have captcha enabled on them, which many do on all options). CloudFlare Turnstile captcha service is not blocked in China and won't be as they have their own POPs in China. - The built in WHMCS internal captcha is easy to bypass and essentially useless against a dedicated spammer/attacker. - The built in WHMCS internal captcha is only numbers and English letters, an inconvenience for non-English keyboard users to solve. - CloudFlare Turnstile is easy to complete similarly to Google reCaptcha for non-English users, and won't be blocked in countries that block.
This should only take an hour for an experienced developer to implement as an option, and since WHMCS caters to businesses, including large ones, and is required to have a secure billing platform, I am sure WHMCS has the developers to do this very quickly.

Or if you use Lagom2 theme I have a copy of it with modifications to work with Lagom2.

There we can see a hook to add Turnstile to whmcs.

This provides an alternative solution to those concerned about political and/or privacy issues.
