Account and setup
Create your account and connect the extension to your prepaid balance.
Try the free plan first
You can use the extension without an account or payment. Download it and choose Free plan in the popup for 25 recognition groups a day. Read the free-plan guide for the allowance and renewal details.
Follow the steps below when you need paid usage or the token API.
Create your account
Create an account in the dashboard with your email address and a password of at least 8 characters. You will be signed in automatically.
Use your email and password to log in again. Keep your password private and save it in a password manager.
Add service credit
Open Payments in the dashboard and choose a USD amount. Top-ups earn 5% from $10 to below $30, 10% from $30 to below $60, 20% from $60 to below $100, and 30% from $100 onward. For example, $20 adds $21 in service credit and $100 adds $130. The dashboard displays the Litecoin amount, receiving address, QR code and quote expiry. The exchange-rate quote is valid for one hour.
Send the quoted Litecoin amount and watch the payment status. Your service balance is in US dollars. An expired quote does not stop the address from receiving funds, but a late payment can use a different exchange rate.
Litecoin deposits cannot be refunded or withdrawn as service credit. Read the payment details before sending funds.
Create an API key
Open API keys and create a key for this extension installation. Give it a label you will recognize. The dashboard shows the complete key once, so copy it before you leave the creation screen.
Keep API keys private. You can revoke a key in the dashboard and create a replacement.
Install the extension
Open the public download page and get the Chromium package. Follow the installation instructions on that page. Paste your key into the extension settings, then enable it for a site where you want hCaptcha help.
The popup shows your balance and the current task state. Turn Solve hCaptcha off to stop new submissions.
Read the extension guide if the key is rejected or the extension does not submit a task.
Log in again
Use your email address and password. Signing in again does not require a new account or another payment.
