Recaptcha is a security feature used to protect websites from automated spam or abuse. It is important in website login to prevent bots from creating fake accounts or submitting malicious content. By requiring users to solve a captcha or other challenge, such as selecting certain images or typing distorted text, the website can verify that a human is attempting to access the site, rather than a bot.
