Hi Leo, when I woke up this morning I found 250 false users registered to my site at The Food Shop! All spam! From the same person, I think was a robot because a person don’t loose time to register 250 times. It was different email adresses but very similar, type s.quabb.le.p.a.j@gmail.com, s.q.u.abb.le.paj@gmail.com ecc.
This was possible because the registration process is very simple and don’t need a verification link sent by email. I also receive a loto of spam in comments. So please, for me is urgent, cannot fight with this situation, I need a more secure mode in order to not permit spammers to attack me. I need a registration with confirmation link in the email. How can you help me?I think you can just add a normal captcha WordPress-Plugin…
Captcha for comments, but for registrations?
I added the wordfence security plugin (free) and that took care of it…even when we did have a more difficult sign up process, I was getting a lot of spam. I also added anti-captcha, also free.
+1 for Anti-Captcha
I am going to edit your heading to make it more informative – you can always edit it back if you wish, as this is not really an issue for Leo as can easily be resolved by using plugins

Count me as another +1 for Anti-Captcha.
It will “captcha” the spam, but legit potential customers won’t even know it’s there. Brilliant!
I use Anti-Captcha as well – I hate captcha’s (Shutterstock and 123rf use them) and this is the best of all worlds as a human user never sees it.
which Anti-Captcha plugin do you guys use? the one by Filidor wiese?

I have Wordfence installed, it doesn’t help me.

Thanks Christine….I’m not sure what you mean by edit my heading. Can you explain me more please?
I’ve got over 1500 spam registers now, but since I turned off commenting, it doesn’t really matter
