Description

secret_salt_warning() adds a warning that prompts users to add a couple of defines to their site so as to reenforce its security. We should turn this on by default, rather than just for multisite installations.

Change History (6)

  • Keywords multisite added

#2 follow-up: @nacin

  • Keywords health-check added

Related (keys and their defaults): #12081.

Thinking that for non-MS this might be better as part of the health check plugin.

#12159 should ensure new installs are at least secure. We're also addressing salts in Tools > Network.

secret_salt_warning() is missing NONCE_SALT. I don't think we should add it until we can fix #12142 simultaneously.

(In [13768]) add NONCE_SALT to secret_salt_warning(), see #11764

  • Resolution set to wontfix
  • Status changed from new to closed

Replying to nacin:

I agree. An end user implementing the SALTS/KEYS may have login issues (possibly all users) as is documented in #12142.

I'm closing. If someone strenuously objects they can re-open.

I agree.

Something tells me that #12142 is exacerbated by a bug somewhere in MS, as changing, adding or removing keys and salts in single-install WP doesn't seem to cause problems, beyond a logout.
