I ran through all instances of the implementation on computer and mobile and observed no problems. Everything behaved as you described Steve.
The text version on the phone screen looks clean and descriptive as a line of info at the bottom of the dialog box.
Is the role sign-up in the agenda email also a suitable place for it?

Thank you very much for your time and contribution to this effort!


"role sign-up in the agenda email" ... The thing is that because the reCAPTCHA stuff does require a bit of coding, it cannot really be put into an email itself. The agenda email is really just a bunch of creatively implemented links that redirect you to other places that do the actual work. If you actually are referring to the landing page (vs the email itself) when you sign up for a role that requires you to essentially provide your password, then yes, that may be another place to implement this. (Good thought... I had not thought of that.)

Just so that you can all see where the "Phase 1" data collection part of this is going, here are some results that Google has collected and processed for us so far (this is for all of the FreeToastHost system):

I have "fleshed out" my implementation of this functionality a bit more. I have created a system notification to be added to admin login messages when Google RECAPTCHA deems monitored actions to be suspicious. Also, I have added some website settings to enable clubs to have a bit more control over this functionality. Currently, these additional settings are located at the bottom of the Administrator Information tab in Website Settings (I am open to suggestions of other places) and they are currently locked from any changes--I want to leave some time for additional data gathering by Google before I give clubs the ability to change these settings.

Steve,
I've gotten several messages from the system--the only one of concern is regarding one I got this morning; it was right at meeting time, and about our VPE, who has also had emails bounce before, though his email address IS valid.

I will ask him if he has anything unusual in the way he logs in.
