Hey, Thank you for the comments.
Yes, you can use Simple Google reCAPTCHA plugin, but before installing this plugin you have to make sure that you have already registered the website here at Google recaptcha.
After registering, you can see your API Key Pair (save both keys). Then paste these keys into the plugin settings that you installed on your website. And just show the captcha wherever you want in any form.
I hope you find it useful. Thanks
