How To Change Security Keys for WordPress

You can have the most powerful website on the face of the planet in terms of the content you offer on it. That does not mean hackers won’t come after you. Adding and changing the security keys in your wp-config file is an easy way to make your website difficult to hack. If your WP Config file does not ahve the following lines, you need to add them to it right away.

The good news is you do not have to be super technical to implement this. All you have to know is how to open your WP Config file and change your keys. You can create a random key for your website right here.

The first four keys are required to keep your website protected against hack attacks. The salt keys are optional as WordPress will take care of that for you if you do not define these.

This will not make your website hackproof. It does however make life more difficult for hackers trying to attack your site. It takes only a few seconds to implement.
