Frequently asked questions

What is WordPress Secret Key Generator?

Generate the eight WordPress salt keys as ready-to-paste define() lines for wp-config.php.

When would I actually use this?

Creating a credential you will not have to remember, judging whether one you already use is strong enough, and generating a passphrase for something a manager cannot hold.

What is the most common mistake?

Chasing complexity rules instead of length. Four random words beat a short string of symbols by a wide margin in entropy, and the substitutions people make to satisfy a rule are the first thing an attacker tries.

How is WordPress Secret Key Generator different from Django Secret Key Generator?

They sit next to each other but answer different questions: Django Secret Key Generator is the one to open when you need it to generate a cryptographically secure Django SECRET_KEY with your choice of length and character set. Pick whichever matches what you're starting from — both are free.

Is there a tool for the next step?

WPA Key Generator is the closest one after this: Create strong Wi-Fi WPA/WPA2 passphrases (8–63 chars) with chosen character types and no ambiguous letters.

Where do the figures come from?

Entropy is computed from the alphabet and the length rather than estimated from appearance, and generation uses the browser's cryptographic source. Nothing you generate or paste is transmitted or stored.
