Magento 2: How to Change Default Captcha Font, Color & Background

Question

In Mangeto 2 We have default Captcha, which is not easily readable.

So how to change/customize Font Name it's Color & Background

Answer 1

Color & Background

Magento builds its Model Captcha which extends from Zend_Captcha_Image class. So, in your case, we should override Magento\Captcha\Model\DefaultModel class.

<preference for="Magento\Captcha\Model\DefaultModel"
            type="Vendor\Module\Model\DefaultModel"/>

We need to override _generateImage method.

protected function _generateImage($id, $word)
{
      ......
      $w     = $this->getWidth();
      $h     = $this->getHeight();
      $fsize = $this->getFontSize();
      ......
}

We can remove the generation noise:

Custom Font

Add new font to the default config:

app/code/Company/Module/etc/config.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:module:Magento_Store:etc/config.xsd">
    <default>
        <captcha translate="label">
            <fonts>
                <arial>
                    <label>Arial</label>
                    <path>CustomFont/Arial.ttf</path>
                </arial>
            </fonts>
        </captcha>
    </default>
</config>

Add our custom font: lib/internal/CustomFont/Arial.ttf

Take a look: vendor/magento/module-captcha/Helper/Data.php::getFonts() to see more details.

Answer 2

For Captcha customise I think you need change in this file :

magento2/vendor/magento/zendframework1/library/Zend/Captcha/Image.php

Answer 3

in Magento ver. 2.4.4 just edit : /vendor/magento/module-captcha/Model/DefaultModel.php
