Filament Captcha

A captcha field for Filament 5 forms and plain Livewire components. One field, one validation rule, five providers: Google reCAPTCHA v2 (checkbox and invisible), reCAPTCHA v3 (score and action), Cloudflare Turnstile and hCaptcha. It re-initialises after Livewire morphs, resets the single-use token after every failed submit, fetches v3 tokens right before the form goes out, and has a fake mode so your test suite never touches the network.

Screenshots

A missing or failed check is reported under the widget and the single-use token is reset:

Requirements

• PHP 8.3+
• Laravel 12 or 13
• Filament 5 (which brings Livewire 4; the plain-Livewire widget uses the same)

Installation

Put the keys of the provider you use in .env (see Configuration):

Register the plugin on the panel only if you want the captcha on Filament's auth pages, or want the client script printed on every panel page automatically (the default):

Call ->plugin() after ->login() / ->registration() / ->passwordReset(): the plugin swaps in page classes that add the field, and a later call on the panel would swap them back.

No filament:assets step: the small client script is served by the package itself (/filament-captcha/captcha.js, versioned and cacheable for a year).

Usage

In a Filament form

The field is validated, never saved: it is not dehydrated, so the single-use token does not end up in $form->getState(). It is named captchaAction() and not action() because Filament's own Component::action() is taken.

In a plain Livewire component

Once in your layout (Filament panels get it from the plugin):

The widget also takes driver, theme, size and locale. Outside Livewire (no wire:model) it renders a hidden input named captcha_token (name="..." to change it).

As a validation rule

The rule is implicit: an empty or missing token fails with "Please complete the security check", it does not skip the rule. Within one request the same token is verified once, so repeated validation does not burn it.

Auth pages

CaptchaPlugin::make()->login()->registration()->passwordReset() adds the field to Filament's pages. Pass a driver per page (->login(driver: 'recaptcha_v3'); the action is login, register or password_reset). With your own page classes use the trait instead:

The trait works without registering the plugin (the driver then comes from config/filament-captcha.php), but the page still needs the client script: add <x-filament-captcha::scripts /> through a panel render hook (for example PanelsRenderHook::HEAD_END).

Multi-factor login: Filament runs authenticate() twice (password, then the challenge). The captcha is checked on the first step only; on the challenge step the field is hidden, because the token was spent. This works for the plugin's pages and for the trait alike.

Tests

Or set CAPTCHA_FAKE=true in .env.testing (honoured only in local / testing; elsewhere it is ignored with a log warning). Without a call to fake(), use Http::fake() for the provider's siteverify URL: the package resolves the HTTP client on every verification, so it honours your fake.

Configuration

config/filament-captcha.php, all of it also reachable through .env:

reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox and v2 invisible need separate key pairs (Google issues a different key type for each).

Custom provider

Implement Asignua\FilamentCaptcha\Contracts\CaptchaDriver (or extend Drivers\SiteVerifyDriver: set the endpoint and clientConfig(); the client script knows the recaptcha, turnstile and hcaptcha kinds).

Content-Security-Policy

The widget needs the provider's origins. Captcha::cspSources(['turnstile']) returns them by directive (script-src, frame-src, connect-src, and style-src for hCaptcha). Add them to your policy. With asignua/filament-csp-nonce the directives() you pass are merged over the preset directive by directive, so include the sources the preset already has:

The package prints <script src nonce="..."> with Vite::cspNonce() and the client script gives the same nonce to the provider's script tag it injects. With 'strict-dynamic' that is enough; without it, allow the provider origins in script-src.

Gotchas

• A token is single-use. The widget resets after every Livewire request that carried it, so a failed login makes the visitor tick the box again. A request that carries the token without verifying it (a live() field in the same form) also resets it. Only a request that called a method (a submit) resets the widget, so live() field updates do not undo a solved challenge. The reset event from resetCaptcha() is scoped to the Livewire component, so two forms on one page do not clear each other.
• Never hide the field with ->visible() / ->hidden() (the multi-factor step above is the one built-in exception). Hidden Filament fields are not validated, so that would open the form to bots. The field already draws nothing in fake / disabled mode (where the rule passes anyway) and draws an error in misconfigured mode (where the rule fails).
• Missing keys in production fail the form, on purpose. In local and testing they disable the captcha with a warning in the log; look for "DISABLED" there before wondering why a form accepts bots.
• v3 action must match. The widget asks Google for the action, the rule checks it comes back. Both default to the driver's action (submit); name it once on the field or pass the same string to <x-filament-captcha::widget action> and validateCaptcha(action:).
• reCAPTCHA v2 and v3 on one page do not mix (one global grecaptcha).
• Load the script before Alpine. The plugin does it for panels; in your own layout put <x-filament-captcha::scripts /> in the <head> or before @livewireScripts.
• reCAPTCHA v3 badge. If you hide it with CSS, Google requires the notice text in your form.

Translations

The interface ships in English, Ukrainian, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Turkish under the filament-captcha::filament-captcha namespace. A test keeps every language in step with the English keys. Override a string by publishing the translations (--tag=filament-captcha-translations) and editing the copy in lang/vendor/filament-captcha.

AI agents

The package ships Laravel Boost guidelines (resources/boost/guidelines/core.blade.php) so a coding agent wires it up correctly.
