Replacing salts signs existing users out, which can be useful after a suspected session compromise.
How to use the WordPress Salts Generator
- Generate a fresh set of cryptographically random WordPress keys and salts.
- Back up wp-config.php and replace the complete existing salt block.
- Save the file securely and confirm that authorized users can sign in again.

Rotating salts after a suspected session compromise invalidates existing authentication cookies.
