Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Rather than forcing people to decipher warped and distorted characters or words, Confident CAPTCHA presents the visitor with a grid of randomly-generated pictures and simply asks them to click on specific pictures to verify that they are human and not a bot.
Confident CAPTCHA is a FREE web service used to stop spam and bots on Web forms, comment posts, new account registrations, polls and surveys, and many other areas of your website.
The CAPTCHA does not take up much space on a Web page. It is displayed as a small button. When the user clicks on the button, the CAPTCHA image grid appears as a fly-out or a lightbox overlay.
You must register to receive the unique key credentials needed to make the Confident CAPTCHA web service run on your website. Register at: http://www.confidenttechnologies.com/Get_Confident_CAPTCHA
Then follow the easy to use documentation here to install it on your site: http://login.confidenttechnologies.com/docs/joomla

This is a very good CAPTCHA. It took only a few minutes to install and my spam stopped immediately. I would recommend this to anybody.
Would be nice if the author would develop this for 1.7 too.

I installed Confident Captcha and it didn't show up on my sites (history animation sites). I contacted their support and received an instant and very correct response. Works great - like it much better than word Captcha.

and you should be good to go. Would recommend, I had not trouble getting the plugin up and running.
Time will tell how the users take to it.

It takes too long to complete the capatcha, and on top of that to download the plugin you have to go through a lengthy process to set up an account with the author.
All in all too hard.

Although it says there's an option for audio for the Visually Impaired, It seems that they forgot to put this on their sign-up page. I am visually impaired, and this is the only one that said there was an option for visually impaired people. When I went to sign up, I had to have a sighted person sign up for me because I was unable to see the image. Now, I'm going to try to install this and see if the option is there after downloading.
