Description

The WordPress security keys are a set of random variables that improve encryption of information stored in the user's cookies. These security keys are configured in the WordPress configuration file wp-config.php.

There are a total of four security keys:

  • AUTH_KEY
  • SECURE_AUTH_KEY
  • LOGGED_IN_KEY
  • NONCE_KEY

One of these WordPress security keys is using a weak/predictable value that the scanner found in a dictionary. It's recommended to change the value of this WordPress security key.
