FAKE USERS ARE BEING REGISTERED EVERY DAY

[lortnok]

bots, fake accounts are saturating the customer list because new accounts are registered daily. Never a transaction and random email addresses so they are for sure not belong to real people. How to fix this so it is a tiny bit harder to register at the website? I have captcha and honeypot on my custom contact form and that works well, we need a solution for account registration, too to prevent spamming.

hmm not sure, i would just try to use anti spam plugins. like akismet
i mean even here on the forum i use 2 antispam plugins, but sometimes spam accounts still manage to register. im not sure if it can ever be 100% be solved

@arminunruh i do use them. But how can I integrate it when it comes to creating new accounts with woocommerce? Since I don’t edit the account related pages directly. I think this is a very important security feature for a webshop since these customers are also being created at the gateway side. I contacted the gateway they said this is a security issue of the website.
