January 2026 at Anart: passwordless login and less spam on your site

We are starting monthly news. Every month we will talk about what we did — no technical jargon, just what makes a difference for your site. We begin with January: passwordless login, better spam protection and an improved webshop.

Web platform

A new way to log in — the user enters their email, receives a one-time code, and is in. No passwords to remember, no “I forgot my password” frustration.
The whole process is translated and adapted to the site’s languages — including Serbian and Montenegrin.
The CAPTCHA hides after the first successful solve in the same session — less friction for users who have already proven they are real.

Better spam protection

We added support for Cloudflare Turnstile and reCAPTCHA v3 — modern anti-spam services that bother real users less than the classic “click all the traffic lights” kind.
Math CAPTCHA (a simple arithmetic check) stays as a backup for users who do not want JavaScript or third parties.
We removed the SpamSpan module — an outdated tool for protecting email addresses from bot harvesters; modern and more reliable solutions exist.

Improved webshop

Clearer discounts and coupons — they now show in the cart, on the user’s profile and in order notification emails.
A unified email system for orders — all commerce emails (confirmation, invoicing, status) go through one system that guarantees reliable delivery and a consistent look.
Fixed visual issues with coupons when forms do not use floating labels.

Behind the scenes

Less jQuery dependency — the cart button in the site header now uses the modern core/once API instead of jQuery. Less JavaScript code, faster loading.
SEO fix — we added a noindex meta tag for faceted navigation pages so search engines do not spend their budget on duplicate filter URLs.
Updated all contrib modules to the latest stable versions.

Infrastructure

Hosting

We added a new site to our Drupal hosting platform — Pro-MB.

January in one sentence: passwordless login, better spam protection, a more modern foundation — and the first issue of the monthly news.
