Security Keys Rotation
WordPress Security Keys and Salts Rotation
Security Keys Rotation regenerates your WordPress security keys and salts on demand, instantly invalidating all active login sessions. Any stolen cookie or hijacked session immediately stops working, forcing every user, including an attacker, to re-authenticate. It is one of the fastest ways to lock out an intruder, and you can trigger it from your phone.
What It Does
Security Keys Rotation replaces the secret keys and salts WordPress uses to encrypt session cookies. The moment you rotate them, every existing login session is invalidated, so a thief holding a stolen session cookie is logged out instantly and cannot get back in without valid credentials.
This is a critical response step after a suspected breach, password leak, or staff change. You rotate keys for any site in seconds from the dashboard or mobile app, no manual editing of wp-config.php required.
How It Works
- Generates fresh, cryptographically strong security keys and salts for the site.
- Applies them in place, instantly invalidating all current login sessions and cookies.
- Triggers on demand from the web dashboard or mobile app, with no manual wp-config edits.
Key Benefits
- Force-logout every session and boot a suspected intruder from your phone in seconds.
- Instant session invalidation neutralizes stolen cookies the moment you act.
- Built-in key rotation replaces manual wp-config.php editing and one-off salt generators.
