  • Once done, log in your Magento admin panel, go to System > Cache Management, select all caches and refresh.
  • Navigate to System > Configuration, if you can see the extension tab, it is installed properly.
  • If you get Access denied error, you need to log out admin panel and log in again.

  1. Fake Registration Validation Message
    Once the extension is configured successfully, when a fake user tries to register with the restricted first name and last name length or invalid Email address as configured from the backend settings, a restriction message is displayed on the frontend.
    Also, the Google reCAPTCHA v3 badge is enabled on the registration page for security from undefined bots.
