WordPress has had an online tool available for a while to generate random strings in a format suitable for the wp-config.php file. It is at:

http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/

This has just been extended to return code appropriate for bbPress as well. Just go to:

http://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/bbpress/

Enjoy! Sam.

I almost forgot…

If you have an urge to hard code the secret salts in there as well then you can go here:

https://api.wordpress.org/secret-key/1.1/salt/bbpress/salt/

The salts are usually generated for you and stored in the database. Few people have to add them manually to the file.

Sweet deal… Looks like things are well on their way now with the integration of the nonce in there now.

Does that mean both applications share the same nonce now? Before each would create their own even when integrated.

After further review, it looks like WP and BBP create different nonces, even if the keys are the same in the config. I suppose this makes sense considering what a nonce is, but darn would I like to be able to logout of WordPress when viewing the forum.
