## Description

### Steps to reproduce

1.  Enable recaptcha under Administration -> Authentication -> Recaptcha
2.  Try to create a new account

### What is the buggy behavior?

*   there is no recatpcha during registration allowing free creation of spam accounts

### What is the expected behavior?

*   currently the captcha is only checked during login.
*   please double check that recaptcha is working both with v2 and v3 and with hcaptcha as well
