 * Hi [@ricroman](https://wordpress.org/support/users/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](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ricroman/),
 * You can follow this tutorial to change the Salt Keys in wp-config.php using a
   plugin of File Manager.
