Overview

The SkipRecaptcha module allows administrators to bypass reCAPTCHA validation for specific whitelisted IP addresses in Magento 2. This is particularly useful for development environments, automated testing, or trusted internal networks where reCAPTCHA verification is not necessary.

Features

• Enable/disable module functionality via admin configuration
• Whitelist specific IP addresses to skip reCAPTCHA validation
• Supports both direct IP addresses and forwarded IPs (X-Forwarded-For header)
• Admin panel configuration interface

Installation

Via Composer (Recommended)

composer require cloudcommerce/skip-recaptcha
php bin/magento module:enable CloudCommerce_SkipRecaptcha
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush

Manual Installation

1. Copy the module files to app/code/CloudCommerce/SkipRecaptcha/
2. Run the following commands:

   php bin/magento module:enable CloudCommerce_SkipRecaptcha
   php bin/magento setup:upgrade
   php bin/magento cache:flush

Configuration

1. Navigate to Stores > Configuration > General > Skip Admin Recaptcha
2. Set Enable Module to "Yes"
3. Enter IP addresses in Whitelisted IPs field (comma-separated)
4. Save configuration

Usage

Once configured, users accessing Magento from whitelisted IP addresses will automatically bypass reCAPTCHA validation on admin login and other protected forms.

How It Works

The module uses a plugin to intercept the isCaptchaEnabledFor method and returns false when the current IP address is in the whitelist, effectively disabling reCAPTCHA validation.
