Step 2: Add a new siteOpens in a new window
When clicking on Turnstile on the left sidebar, you’ll be presented with an area where you can add a new site.
Once you click “Add Site,” you’re taken to a new screen where you can add your site name, domain, and the type of protection you’d like.
Managed is Recommended
Turnstile by default will show a small widget and will show a pass/fail status. The user may also be shown an interactive challenge.
The “challenge” behavior, or when someone is asked to verify they are human, is a part of the Turnstile experience.
“Managed” widget (recommended)Opens in a new window
You can choose “Managed” and have Turnstile decide for you what kind of challenge to present to the user (if any).
“Non-interactive” widgetOpens in a new window
This widget is pass/fail. If the user fails verification, then that user is typically rejected and has to try again.
“Invisible” widgetOpens in a new window
This is a pass/fail verification. This fails silently, and it is up to the implementer to display any errors to the user.
For “non-interactive,” this is a pass/fail.
Once you’ve decided, click on “Create” to create your site.
Once you choose to “Create” the site, you’ll be shown instructions and receive a Site Key and a Secret Key.
Step 3: Grab your Site and Secret keysOpens in a new window
Once you’ve created your site, you’ll have access to your Site and Secret keys. You can use these keys where asked.
