Frequently asked questions
What are WordPress salts for?
They key the cookies WordPress uses to authenticate you. Unique salts mean a stolen cookie from another site cannot be reused against yours.
When should I regenerate them?
On a new install, and any time you suspect a compromise. Regenerating logs everyone out — including you.
Where do I paste the output?
Into wp-config.php, replacing the existing eight define() lines for the keys and salts.
