Secret keys that are valid for WordPress might not be for bbPress?

    That was my AUTH_KEY for WordPress 2.6.2 which was working fine. When I tried to integrate bbPress, it apparently read that key, but on step three of the installer, I saw this error:

    As you can see, part of that key is displayed there (v;aK&V9;) and I suspect it shouldn't be, and was not being used properly in this case.

    I wonder if this is why so many people are having log in/log out issues with WordPress integration. I am going to try a plain vanilla key (alphanumeric only) and see how that works.

    Looks like the key I posted in the beginning there is not properly escaped within code blocks either. You can see the original key here, and how I posted it. If you check the source of that post, you can see how bbPress parsed it.

    More info here, in the original format:
