Module Honeypot
Protecting forms against bots, invisible to customers
The module adds a field to forms that is hidden from people but visible in the page code. A bot fills in every field it finds, so it gives itself away, and the submission is rejected. Customers see no puzzle or image to retype, because for them this protection doesn't exist.

Module benefits
Conversion without obstacles
The only protection that requires no extra action from the customer.
No more fake accounts
Bots drop out before they create an account or sign up for the newsletter.
A clean contact database
Only real people's addresses make it onto the list, so mailing statistics stop lying.
Less work for customer service
The team doesn't go through spam submissions looking for real messages.
Works in the background
No impact on the look or speed of the form.
Bots and people read a page differently
A person sees what the browser draws. A bot reads the source code.
The whole method is based on this difference. A field hidden from the eye is just another field to fill in for a bot, because a bot tries to complete everything it finds in a form.
Filling in such a field is therefore a sure sign that there is no human on the other side. The submission is rejected, and a real customer doesn’t even know that any verification took place.
Practical applications
Spam stops cluttering the customer service inbox, without giving customers a puzzle.
Fake accounts created in bulk by scripts disappear.
The subscriber base stops swelling with fake addresses.

How it differs from a captcha
- It requires no action from the customer, so it doesn't lower conversion.
- It requires no external services or API keys.
- It stops simple bots, so for stronger attacks it's worth combining it with a captcha.
