reCaptcha does not work

Hi,
I use the reCaptcha-Typ V3 on my website. I copied the two keys from joomla to the phoca-email entry fields. reCAPTCHA Request Method = cUrl, reCaptcha Size = Compact. The reCaptcha returns with an error message: "Wrong pair of keys for the website". What is the problem?
Best regards,
Michael

Hi,
I recreated this and it works on my test page. However, I'm not sure if it's really a reCaptcha type v3. I still had older reCaptcha keys, which I copied into the corresponding fields. So maybe it's reCaptcha type v1 or v2...

See images:

Joomla v5.4.1
Phoca Email Component v6.0.0
Phoca Email Newsletter Module v6.0.0
PHP 8.4.15

Kind regards,
Benno

Hi,
look under https://www.google.com/recaptcha/admin - there you can see, what type of reCaptcha you have. After creating an additonal type=2 with new keys and using them only for phoca email it works. So it seems, that you have type 2 keys. In phoca options it would be nice to select, which type i want to use.
Thanks for your time.
Best regards
Michael
