Secret Keys for WordPress on Azure

• When creating a new WordPress (WP) site for Azure from the gallery, you are requested to enter deployment keys such as: AUTH_KEY, SECURE_AUTH_KEY, etc.

  

  

  • You can use the following WP API to generate random keys for you: https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt
  • However, the above API includes the $ character, which Azure in turn does not allow.

   

  • Use the following form to automatically replace the invalid character and make it easy to copy/paste the keys to Azure.
  • Just paste the entire code from the WP API above and press the button.
