A secret key makes your site harder to hack and access by adding random elements to the password.

In simple terms, a secret key is a password with elements that make it harder to generate enough options to break through your security barriers. A password like "password" or "test" is simple and easily broken. A random, unpredictable password such as "88a7da62429ba6ad3cb3c76a09641fc" takes years to come up with the right combination. A salt is used to further enhance the security of the generated result.

Note that changing the salts will log you out of your WordPress site.
