    Hi @ricroman,

    If you are referring to WordPress security salt, replace the existing ones from the wp-config.php file.

    This way you will refresh all the security constants on your website:
    AUTH_KEY,SECURE_AUTH_KEY,LOGGED_IN_KEY,NONCE_KEY,AUTH_SALT,SECURE_AUTH_SALT,LOGGED_IN_SALT,NONCE_SALT

    Best, John

    This information you gave me are in the info button. But I don’t know how to do that. I need to open the wp-config.php file and edit? I try that and I can’t find in my wp-config.php any line or entry with this values like AUTH_KEY… do you have a tutorial or doc about this??
    You mark this post as resolved, but it’s not haha.
    Thank you.

    Hi @ricroman,

    You can follow this tutorial to change the Salt Keys in wp-config.php using a plugin of File Manager.

    Let me know if you managed to change the security keys.
