Setting Up

For starters, Google actually requires you to register with them in order to use this feature. You may register at  Google Recaptcha just in case you haven't already done so. Otherwise, you may login using your existing Google accounts.

You can also configure it with the current Security Preferences under Advanced Settings as shown below. 

 After all the processes are complete, you will be given Site key and Server key as shown below.
