Registring Spammers using Facebook Login

[zm]

Hello,

I have tried many Captcha plugin to stop the spam which worked perfect for me. But non of them worked to stop spam using facebook login method. I have figured that bots are using this way to sneak into your forum.

Is there a plugin or setting to put security check on Facebook Login method?

I havent heard of this before. So these spam accounts actually have facebook accounts? There doesnt seem to be a plugin to stop fb accounts, but you could always turn of registration via fb in theme options > misc. Then a user would have to register using the form first, but be able to login be fb after they have activated their account.

Thank you for the quick response. Its the only option to stop spam.

I am using Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft plugin to stop spam. But this plugin is not showing up on the registration page. I believe this plugin only embeds code into wordpress registration page whereas my site is using buddy press registration form.
Can you please help to edit my theme files to add this recaptcha into my buddypress registration form?

I am not geek and do not know which file needs to be edited for this.

Thank you

I played around with WP-recaptcha-bp yesterday. It puts a captcha on the registration form.

Hi, that should be related to Facebook APP used for the login. See this tutorial on creating an APP for Facebook login.
