Update reCAPTCHA Keys

For enhanced security, it is recommended that you update both the reCAPTCHA secret keys and site keys in the following PHP files to use your own keys:

• adminlogin.php, change-password.php, login-form.php, user-forgot-password.php:
  1. Locate the reCAPTCHA integration section in each file.
  2. Update the data-sitekey attribute with your reCAPTCHA site key.
  3. Update the data-secretkey attribute with your reCAPTCHA secret key.

How to Obtain reCAPTCHA Keys:

1. Visit the reCAPTCHA website and log in or create an account if you don't have one.
2. Create a new site by selecting "reCAPTCHA v2" and then "I'm not a robot" Checkbox.
3. Choose the "invisible" reCAPTCHA type if preferred.
4. Complete the necessary settings and obtain your site key and secret key.
5. Replace the placeholder keys in the mentioned PHP files with your newly acquired reCAPTCHA keys.

Ensure that you follow these steps to maintain the security of your Library Management System. If you encounter any issues, refer to the reCAPTCHA documentation for assistance.
