Nice, but has issues
Initially this plugin seemed to be exactly what I needed. Free of charge, a simple interface, ability to apply reCAPTCHA to guests only, etc. But I've decided to not use it for the following reasons: It only supports Google reCAPTCHA v2, which has become less and less effective. I needed to not have a reCAPTCHA for certain payment methods, which was supported, but it didn't work. When I switched payment methods to one of the ones that should be skipped, the reCAPTCHA stayed. Refreshing the page didn't help. I'd like to rate this at 3½ stars, but will round down because of the lack of v3 support.
