How It Works
Step 1: Adding Hidden Fields
HoneyPot Guard inserts two hidden fields into each form:
-
- A hidden text field.
- A hidden checkbox.
- These fields are positioned off-screen, making them invisible to users but detectable by bots.
Step 2: Bot Detection
During form submission, HoneyPot Guard evaluates the hidden fields:
-
- If a bot fills in either field, the extension flags the submission.
- If both fields are left untouched, the form submission proceeds normally.
- If a bot fills in either field, the extension flags the submission.
Step 3: Blocking Bot Actions
When a bot submission is detected:
-
- The extension disconnects real integrations (e.g., email notifications or data storage).
- It replaces them with a dummy integration, ensuring no real actions are triggered.
